This Wednesday (1), São Paulo drew 1-1 with Internacional at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre (RS), in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. The opponent’s goal was scored by Alerrandro in the 22nd minute of the first half, while the Tricolor’s goal came from Calleri in the 42nd minute of the second half.

After the FIFA international break, Tricolor returned to the pitch with some changes: forward Artur made his debut for the club, defensive midfielder Pablo Maia replaced Bobadilla (away on duty with the Paraguay national team), center-back Rafael Toloi came in for Alan Franco (who had calf pain), and left-back Wendell took the place of Enzo (suspended after receiving his third yellow card).

São Paulo’s first good chance came as early as the 2nd minute. The night’s debutant, Artur, cut inside and struck with his left foot, forcing a good save from the opposing goalkeeper. Despite the promising start, it was Internacional who opened the scoring in the 22nd minute through striker Alerrandro.

In the second half, São Paulo came back even more aggressive and began pressing in search of an equalizer. Their persistence paid off in the closing stages of the match. In the 42nd minute, Wendell made a great play and delivered a precise cross to Calleri, who finished with his right foot to secure the equalizer for São Paulo.

Tricolor’s next match will be at MorumBIS against Cruzeiro next Saturday (4) at 6:30 p.m., in the tenth round of the Brazilian Championship.
