São Paulo will return to the field only on November 20, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), against Corinthians, at Neo Química Arena, for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. Red Bull Bragantino, on the other hand, will face Atlético-MG on November 16, Sunday, in Bragança Paulista.

The Match

The first good chance for São Paulo came at 16 minutes when Luciano got the rebound after Red Bull Bragantino's defense cleared a cross in the area, controlled it, and shot low, sending it just wide of the post.

Shortly after, it was Lucas Moura's turn to receive from Bobadilla at the edge of the area and shoot for the goal, but he also shaved the post, scaring goalkeeper Cleiton.

Unable to penetrate Red Bull Bragantino's defense, São Paulo continued to insist on mid-range shots. At 28, Bobadilla was the one who shot at goal, with the ball deflecting off the opposing defender to deceive goalkeeper Cleiton, who managed to get back in time to palm it away for a corner.

Lucas is substituted at halftime

São Paulo returned for the second half with a change. Coach Hernán Crespo decided to take out Lucas Moura to bring in Gonzalo Tapia in the attack, but the strategy did not have the desired effect. The Tricolor continued to have great difficulty penetrating the opposing defense and creating good scoring opportunities throughout the second half.

Red Bull Bragantino opens the score

Red Bull Bragantino, on the other hand, was more efficient than São Paulo when they were awarded a penalty after Enzo Díaz brought down Lucas Barbosa in the area. Jhon Jhon took the penalty and did not waste the opportunity, sending goalkeeper Rafael the wrong way to open the score for the visitors.

In the final stretch, São Paulo still tried in some way to threaten Red Bull Bragantino, but continued to be stopped by the solid defensive system of the team led by Vágner Mancini. Thus, the Tricolors had to accept the defeat at Vila Belmiro.
