São Paulo is experiencing its best start to the Brazilian Championship since 2019. With two wins and a draw in the first three rounds, Tricolor has matched a performance it hadn’t achieved in six seasons in the national competition.
In this edition, the team started with a 2-1 victory over Flamengo at home. Next, they drew 1-1 with Santos at Vila Belmiro, and then defeated Grêmio 2-0 at Morumbis Stadium.
The solid campaign in the opening rounds of the Brasileirão excites the fans and reinforces the team’s good moment, as they recover from a turbulent start to the year in the Campeonato Paulista, as well as off-field issues.
The last time the club had two wins and a draw in the first three matches was in 2019. On that occasion, São Paulo beat Botafogo 2-0 at Morumbi Stadium, overcame Goiás 2-1 away, and drew 1-1 with Flamengo as the home team.
Even stronger starts in the club’s history were only recorded in 1978, 2002, and 2011, when Tricolor won the first three games of the Brazilian Championship.
