The Match

The match started under heavy rain at Canindé and at a slow pace.

São Paulo gradually took control of the action on the field and began to pose a threat.

The first half ended scoreless, but Tricolor "solved that problem" quickly after the break.

Just one minute into the second half, Luciano made it 1-0 with a precise cross from Marcos Antônio.

Roger Machado's team continued to control the action and quickly doubled their lead.

Marcos Antônio once again found a great pass to start the play, which was finished by Calleri to make it 2-0.

After being involved in the build-up of both goals, São Paulo's number 8 even found the net, but the play was disallowed for offside.

Chapecoense had their best chance to score towards the end of the first half, with a shot from Everton that forced a great save from Rafael.

The team from Santa Catarina threatened only a few times throughout the match and did not find the net.
