São Paulo rally to enter Paulistão G8, watch the highlights 🎥 | OneFootball

São Paulo struggled but defeated Primavera this Saturday (7th) in a match for the penultimate round of the first phase of the Paulistão.

The game at Morumbis saw the visitors open the scoring in the second half, but goals from Lucas Moura and Jonathan Calleri, from the penalty spot, secured the victory for Tricolor.

The result puts São Paulo in the G8 of the state championship, which qualifies for the quarterfinals.

It was the first time the club faced Primavera in an official match, as Primavera is competing in the top division of the Campeonato Paulista for the first time in its history in 2026.

The Match

After a lukewarm first half, the main thrills of the game were saved for the second half.

Primavera came back from halftime closer to scoring the first goal than São Paulo, threatening especially on counterattacks.

But it was through a calmly worked play that the team from Indaiatuba made it 1-0.

Gabriel Poveda received a back-to-goal pass, turned, and shot. The ball deflected off Ferraresi along the way and 'fooled' Rafael in the play.

São Paulo began to press and create chances until they equalized the score at the 25th minute of the second half.

Lucas Moura pushed the ball into the net after a play involving Calleri and Lucas Ramón.

A few minutes later came the play that paved the way for the home team's victory.

Renato Vischi hit Luciano in the face with his elbow inside the penalty area. After a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty and sent off the Primavera player with a second yellow card.

Calleri stepped up and turned the game around.

Scare on the Field

The first half had a scary moment involving Primavera defender Afonso.

He had to leave the match in an ambulance after a head collision in a play involving striker Tapia.

The incident happened at the 30th minute of the first half, and the referee immediately stopped the match after Afonso fell to the ground.

The defender was immobilized and placed on a stretcher before being transported in the ambulance.
