On the road, under-17s draw with Cruzeiro in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

On the afternoon of Tuesday (30), São Paulo drew 0-0 with Cruzeiro at Toca da Raposa 1, in Belo Horizonte (MG), in the sixth round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship.

The match began evenly, with both teams battling for possession and looking for space to build attacking plays. Well organized defensively, the team led by Alexandre Torrezan neutralized the opponent’s attacks and, when it got forward, threatened Cruzeiro’s goal. Coach Menta did not lead the team, as he is away due to medical issues.

The first big chance came in the 19th minute. After a good passing move between Zabarelli and Brenno, the ball fell to Kauã Edmar, who hit it first time, but it went just wide of the post. Then, in the 35th minute, Zabarelli delivered a perfectly placed corner for Kauã Daniel, who rose well and headed the ball, but it went out over the end line.

In the second half, São Paulo came back stronger and began to control the match. In the sixth minute, after a rebound inside the box, Brenno tried an overhead kick, but his effort went over the goal. In the 15th minute, defensive midfielder Caio made way for Gabriel. In his very first play, the midfielder got to the byline and shot, but the defense deflected the ball out for a corner.

Tricolor created other chances throughout the second half, but was unable to turn its attacking pressure into a goal. As a result, the match ended in a goalless draw.
