On the morning of this Saturday (13), São Paulo's youth teams secured two victories at the CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia. First, the under-15 team thrashed Barretos 5-1, with goals from Nicolas Francisco (2), João Lucas (2), and Nycollas Myguel. Then, the under-17 team defeated Real Soccer 2-0, with two goals from João Costa.

With the offensive playing style of coach Vinicius dos Santos, the under-15 team opened the scoring early. At three minutes, Erick received a cross, entered the area, and passed to Nicolas Francisco, who simply pushed the ball into the net. At 21 minutes, the opponent equalized, and at 29 minutes, João Lucas lobbed the goalkeeper to put Tricolor ahead, closing the first half.

In the second half, the goal also came early. At five minutes, Erick took a corner, and Nycollas Myguel appeared in the area to head it in and extend the lead. At 15 minutes, João Lucas took a penalty, scored his second of the match, and the fourth for Tricolor. And to seal the rout, at 31 minutes, after a scramble in the area, Nicolas Francisco hit a beautiful shot.

The youth team returns to the field for the Paulista Championship next Saturday (20), when they host Mirassol at 9 a.m. (Brasília time), at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia.

The under-17 team controlled the match from the first minute. At 15 minutes, they were rewarded for the first time: Leo hit the post, and on the rebound, the forward João Costa took advantage to open the scoring. At 35 minutes, João Bispo got past the defense and passed to João Costa to score his second.

In the second half, São Paulo couldn't create many scoring chances and held onto the lead.

The next match for the under-17 team will be a Majestic, the classic against rival Corinthians, for the Paulista Championship. The match is scheduled for next Saturday (20), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), also in Cotia.
