São Paulo beat Cruzeiro 4-1 on Saturday at home to rise from fourth to second in the Brasileirão.

In the 12th minute, Jonathan Calleri converted from the spot after Artur drew a foul from Lucas Villalba. Ferreira then doubled the lead from Artur's through ball (16.).

After the restart, Christian pulled one back from close range (47.). Ferreira restored the cushion with a sharp finish following a corner (62.).

A VAR check for a potential red on Wendell resulted in no dismissal and a booking (67.). Calleri later went off injured (76.).

Ferreira completed his hat-trick in the first minute of second half stoppage time, sweeping in from Marcos António's pass.

Rafael made six saves for Tricolor Paulista. The hosts hit five shots on target from 11 attempts.

The result leaves Zeiro dropping from 17th to 18th in the table. Next, Tricolor Paulista visit Boston River in the Sudamericana. Zeiro travel to Barcelona SC in the Libertadores.
