How was the match?

First Half

The first half began with few chances at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques. Playing at home, Bragantino had a good opportunity at the 20th minute, when Mosquera made a great individual play and shot low to the left side of Rafael’s goal. Nine minutes later, São Paulo responded: after Luciano set it up, Lucas struck hard, and Cleiton made a great save.

In the final stretch, the home side controlled the game and opened the scoring. At 36 minutes, Alan Franco poorly cleared a cross and, on the rebound, Herrera struck first time and found the net. In stoppage time, São Paulo pressed but couldn’t find the equalizer.

Second Half

Unlike the first half, the second half started at a fast pace, especially for São Paulo. At eight minutes, Danielzinho crossed the ball into the area from a free kick, and Sabino hit it first time to level the score. At 19, with another free kick, Juninho Capixaba almost put Bragantino ahead, but Rafael made a great save.

Four minutes later, São Paulo turned the match around. After a long pass from Marcos Antônio, Lucas Ramon crossed, Cleiton came out poorly, and Calleri headed in to score the second for Tricolor. In the final stretch, Bragantino pushed forward and even managed to create danger, but Roger Machado’s team came away with the victory.
