São Paulo edge Bragantino on penalties to reach Copinha quarters | OneFootball

São Paulo advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copinha on Saturday night (17th), after defeating Bragantino in a penalty shootout 5-3, following a 1-1 draw in regular time. The match took place in Sorocaba (SP).

The match started off poorly for the Tricolor, who conceded a goal in the first half. At 34 minutes, Gabriel Lopes took advantage of a rebound given by goalkeeper João Paulo from a cross into the area and finished into the empty net.

The joy for the countryside team, however, was short-lived. Early in the second half, São Paulo managed to equalize. At 7 minutes, Lucyan received a through pass inside the area and struck firmly to score.

The goal changed the game's scenario, and the Tricolor pressed hard, but couldn't turn the score around. As a result, the decision went to penalties. Lucyan, Osorio, Guilherme Reis, Isac, and Gustavo Santana scored for the Morumbi club, Palacios missed, and São Paulo secured the win in the shootout 5-3.

São Paulo will now face Botafogo in the quarterfinals. The match will take place on Monday (19th), with the date and location yet to be determined.
