Hey Dorival! Ryan denied, Pedro nets, São Paulo draw in Paulista U20: see | OneFootball

São Paulo drew 1-1 with Osasco Sporting on Sunday afternoon (26) at Bruno José Daniel Stadium, in Santo André (SP), in the eighth round of the Paulista Under-20 Championship.

São Paulo’s goal was scored by midfielder Pedro Ferreira, who has not been used much by coach Dorival Júnior with the senior team and was sent back down to the youth squad once again.

Tricolor even took the lead in the 18th minute through Ryan Francisco, but the referee called a highly disputed offside and disallowed the goal, since VAR is not used at youth level.

Ten minutes later, Pedro Ferreira received the ball in the attacking half and passed it to Lucca. The forward took on the defense, beat two opponents, entered the box and laid it back to Pedro Ferreira, who fired a low cross-shot to open the scoring with a fine goal (watch below). In the 43rd minute, the opposition equalized.

In the second half, São Paulo went back on the attack. In the 39th minute, Lucca found the net, but the referee called another offside. In the 43rd minute, Luiz Fernando tried a fine shot and forced the Osasco goalkeeper into a great save. On the rebound, Gustavo Miranda put the ball into the net, but the assistant flagged for offside, disallowing the play once again.

With the result, Tricolor moved to 15 points, remained unbeaten in the competition and stays in second place in Group 2, behind only Ibrachina.

São Paulo’s next youth-team match will be in the Paulista Championship. This Friday (31), the team coached by Júlio Baptista faces Botafogo-SP at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Prefeito José Liberatti, in Osasco (SP), in the ninth round of the competition.
