Rafael – 6.0 – Was not at fault for the opponent's goal but was crucial in stopping a free-kick from Juninho Capixaba when the score was already 2-1 for Tricolor.

Lucas Ramon – 7.0 – More discreet in the first half, having a lot of work with RBB's forward Mosqueira, but in the second half, he was fundamental, providing the assist for the winning goal scored by Calleri.

Alan Franco – 6.5 – Regaining confidence, a secure match from the Argentine. Very good in aerial play and solid on the ground.

Sabino – 8.0 – Gaining the fans' trust, another very secure match, and scored a STUNNING GOAL that leveled the score for the team of faith.

Enzo Diaz – 6.0 – Another game where he fought hard, solid in plays, had trouble with the opposing attack, received a yellow card but did not compromise; a very secure game.

Bobadilla – 6.5 – Another good game. Did not compromise, helped reinforce the defense well, and neutralized the opponent's midfield plays. Gaining the confidence of the new coach and the Tricolor fans.

Marcos Antônio – 6.0 – A slightly below-par performance from the number 8. However, he did not have a bad game, was discreet in the first half, but more involved in the second half, seeking play and starting the attack formation for Roger Machado's team.

Danielzinho – 6.5 – Not a great performance from the number 94, but he is very important for the heart of the team, which is the midfield. Showing leadership on the field and provided the assist from a free-kick for Sabino's equalizing goal.

Lucas Moura – 5.5 – A below-par match from the number 7 of Tricolor. In the first half, he had a good chance after a play through the middle but was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper. Made many passing errors and at times seemed a bit insecure, but did not compromise.

Luciano – 6.0 – A "nuisance" for opponents, participated a lot in the first half, playing one-twos with Calleri and Lucas Moura. In the second half, he declined physically, received a yellow card, and was substituted.

Calleri – 7.5 – In great form, it's redundant to say he fights hard in the game and greatly bothers the opposing defense. Needed just one chance to send the ball to the back of the net, taking advantage of a beautiful play from Lucas Ramon and heading it in to seal São Paulo's victory in Bragança Paulista.

Arboleda – no rating – Came on at the end of the game and did not touch the ball.

Pablo Maia – 5.5 – Came on in the second half, did not compromise, despite being dribbled near the area, which could have created problems for the team.

Ferreirinha – no rating – Came on to lead the counterattack, barely touched the ball, and wasted a good attacking opportunity by holding onto the ball too long.

André Silva – no rating – Came on at the end of the game to hold the ball up front but participated little in the match.

Cauly – 5.5 – Replaced Lucas Moura but failed to be active in the attack, although he cleared balls in defense, helping to hold off the opposing team.

Roger Machado – 6.5 – A good start for São Paulo's new coach, did not change the "winning team," but is beginning to show his way of working, with two games and two victories.
