Marcos Antônio, Danielzinho, and Bobadilla formed São Paulo’s midfield trio and managed to give the Tricolor possession and control of the game. Marcos Antônio played a crucial role in the team’s build-up and playmaking, achieving a 91% pass completion rate during the match, missing only five passes in the 90 minutes.

Like him, Danielzinho also posted a high pass accuracy, with 96%. He also made a good defensive contribution, with seven ball recoveries. Meanwhile, Bobadilla was more involved in offensive phases and, right after making the mistake that allowed Palmeiras to open the scoring, managed to redeem himself and score to tie the derby.

On the other hand, Tapia and Luciano had poor performances and failed to contribute efficiently in attack, while Luccas showed flashes during the first half. In defense, Maik and Enzo Díaz struggled with Alviverde’s attacks, while Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Rafael were not having an inspired day.
