Osorio and Igor Felisberto celebrate senior debut | OneFootball

The duel against O’Higgins, which took place this Thursday (7) in Chile, marked the professional team debut of two “Made In Cotia” players: center-back Osorio and right-back Igor Felisberto, both 19 years old.

The young players were in the starting lineup for the match, which ended 0-0. The result kept Tricolor at the top of CONMEBOL Sudamericana Group C, with eight points.

Speaking about his debut, Osorio celebrated his journey. A native of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, the defender arrived at CFA de Cotia in 2023 from Desportivo Brasil.

“Very happy to make my professional debut. I can only thank God and my family; only we know what we went through to get here. The point is very important for our run, and we’ll keep pushing,” said the center-back.

Igor Felisberto joined Tricolor earlier, in 2018. Born in Içara, Santa Catarina, the full-back won five titles in São Paulo’s youth academy and has also earned call-ups to the Brazil U-20 national team.

“It’s a huge emotion. I’ve been at São Paulo since I was 11. To be able to make my debut in this giant shirt, especially in an international tournament, is truly rewarding. I’m speechless,” said the player.

“As for the match, it was a very important point won away from home. It’s important to value the commitment shown by the whole team and keep moving forward in the tournament,” he added.

São Paulo’s next match will be the derby against Corinthians, valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Majestoso will take place this Sunday (10), at 6:30 p.m., at Neo Química Arena.
