São Paulo secured their first victory of the season last Thursday by defeating São Bernardo 1-0 at Morumbis, in the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. The main highlights of the team's first triumph of the year were Luciano, Lucca, Danielzinho, and Ferreirinha. On the other hand, some players did not perform as well, such as Pablo Maia and Gonzalo Tapia.
The standout figure of the rainy night at Morumbis was Luciano. The number 10 came on at the 20th minute of the second half, replacing Lucas. With less than 15 minutes on the pitch, the forward found the ball at his feet after Arboleda hit the crossbar and finished into the top left corner, leaving goalkeeper Alex Alves with no chance, and scored the goal that secured the win for Tricolor.
The main highlight of the match, however, was Lucca. The 18-year-old played only his third game as a starter and was one of the key names in the Tricolor attack. He created the team's main scoring opportunities and almost got on the scoresheet himself. The Cotia academy graduate drew attention with his individual plays and dribbling, relying heavily on speed and skill to shake off defenders.
The same goes for Ferreirinha, who was also heavily involved on the left side of the attack and helped create dangerous plays down that flank.
Danielzinho was another important name in Tricolor's victory. Wearing number 94, he commanded São Paulo's midfield and managed to help control the ball even on a waterlogged pitch. The player dictated the pace of the match and also contributed fundamentally to the defensive system, with tackles and interceptions.
On the other hand, players like Pablo Maia and Tapia did not perform as well. The midfielder had a discreet performance and contributed little to the game, which may have been heavily influenced by the rain, since he usually stands out for his technical quality. Tapia, meanwhile, barely touched the ball and not only missed many passes but also made some poor decisions.
With this positive result, São Paulo breathed a sigh of relief after the tough defeat to Mirassol in their debut and earned their first win in the Campeonato Paulista. Tricolor jumped to tenth place in the standings and secured their first three points in the state championship.
