Ryan goal seals Under-20s win in Paulista Championship opener | OneFootball

São Paulo’s Under-20 team opened their Paulista Championship campaign with a 1-0 win over Santo André this Friday at Bruno José Daniel Stadium in Santo André. The Tricolor goal was scored by forward Ryan. It was the player’s first goal since suffering a torn ligament in his left knee on July 15 last year.

The first half was closely contested, with Tricolor enjoying more possession and making good use of the flanks, but they were unable to break through the opposition defense.

In the second half, the team coached by Júlio Baptista came back even more focused and opened the scoring just eight minutes in. Lucyan received the ball on the right and delivered a perfect cross for Ryan to finish with class and make it 1-0. Even with the lead, Tricolor kept attacking and created other chances, but could not extend the advantage.

Tricolor return to the field next Thursday to face Red Bull Bragantino at CFA Laudo Natel at 3 p.m. in the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. In the Paulista, their next match will be next Saturday, June 13, when they host Bandeirante, also in Cotia, at 3 p.m.

São Paulo: João Pedro; Angelo, Igão, Alisson and Nicolas (Guilherme Reis, 37/2); Bezerra, Samuel Jhonathan (Matheus Ferreira, 25/2) and Lucyan (Juan Potes, 46/2); Davi Pena, Lucca (Robert, 37/2) and Ryan (Nicolas Kauan, 46/2). Head coach: Júlio Baptista
