Even with ‘first-teamers’, São Paulo lose to Bragantino in U20 Brasileiro | OneFootball

São Paulo was beaten 2-0 by Bragantino this Thursday (11) at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia (SP), in the 15th round of the Brazilian U-20 Championship. With the result, the team remains on 18 points in the standings, still far from the top eight.

Even fielding a true ‘all-star team’ of young players who are already part of the senior squad, Tricolor was defeated at home. Igor Felisberto, Nicolas, Djhordney Pedro Ferreira, Lucca, Tetê and Ryan, all of whom already train at CT da Barra Funda, were on the field in the loss.

São Paulo’s youth side had more attacking presence than the opponent in the first half. However, from a free kick awarded after a back-pass with the feet to the goalkeeper, the visitors opened the scoring in the 44th minute. In the second half, on a counterattack in the 15th minute, the team from the interior extended the lead.

São Paulo pushed for a comeback and created several chances late in the match, but could not find the net and suffered another defeat in the national U-20 competition.

Tricolor’s next Brazilian U-20 Championship match is scheduled for June 17, when the team faces Juventude at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at CFAC Juventude, in Caxias do Sul (RS). Before that, the Made In Cotia side hosts Bandeirante on Saturday (13), also at 3 p.m., at CFA Laudo Natel.

U-20: João Nazari; Igor Felisberto, Isac, Alisson and Nicolas; Matheus Ferreira (Guilherme Reis, 37/2), Djhordney (Bezerra, 18/2), Pedro Ferreira (Léo, at halftime); Lucca (Davi Pena, 18/2), Tetê (Juan Potes, 18/2) and Ryan (Nicolas Kauan, 26/2). Coach: Júlio Baptista.
