São Paulo ratings: Artur, Ferreirinha flop in derby defeat | OneFootball

São Paulo were beaten 3-2 by Corinthians on Sunday night (10), in a very heated and chaotic derby in the 15th round of the Brasileirão, played in Itaquera. Bobadilla and Luciano were sharp for the Tricolor goal, but the midfield was overrun by their rivals. Up front, Artur and Ferreirinha got everything they tried wrong. See the ratings and assessments:

Rafael – 5.5 – Just 3 minutes in, he had to make a good save from Lingard’s angled shot. In the 20th minute, he came out brilliantly to block Yuri’s one-on-one finish with his leg. Not to blame for the goals.

Cédric – 5.0 – Started well supporting the attack, with good passes. Solid defensively in the first half. In the second half, he went back to his usual self, with poor crosses and passes, as well as difficulties in marking.

Dória – 5.5 – Important in the first half, with four clearances and three tackles in São Paulo’s defense. Despite the defeat, he did not have a bad game.

Sabino – 5.0 – Tried to play out from the back early on, but with misplaced passes. Was shown a yellow card after the scuffle following São Paulo’s goal. He also had a good first half, clearing danger from the box. His level dropped in the second half.

Enzo Díaz – 4.5 – Did not have a great first half, making mistakes in attacking situations. But he did well defensively. Hit a good low shot from outside the box in the 19th minute of the second half, but the goalkeeper parried it away. He had much more defensive work to do, struggled late on, and was booked for shoving an opponent. He went off near the end for Wendell after a nervy performance.

Bobadilla – 6.0 – Returned after being rested. He was very quick at the end of the first half to cut out the opponent’s build-up and pass to Luciano for the equalizer. Good first half, with few misplaced passes and plenty of work in central midfield. Like the whole team, he was overrun by Corinthians in the second half. He was replaced by André Silva late on.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – Started quietly, but helped the team play by moving the ball through midfield in the first half. Very good defensively, with five ball recoveries before the break. In the second half, he watched the opposition dominate midfield and was eventually replaced by Luan near the end.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Artur – 4.0 – Received a great long ball early on, drove into the box on a dangerous counterattack, but hesitated and was dispossessed. He could not pull off his trademark moves in the first half, with close marking on him. On a very uninspired night, he got all seven of his crosses wrong, as well as a few passes.

Luciano – 6.0 – Was alert to receive Bobadilla’s turnover and level the derby in the 40th minute. Played some good progressive passes in the first half. Could not make himself seen after the break.

Ferreirinha – 4.5 – The winger was given another chance in the starting lineup. He tried a good placed shot just 5 minutes in, forcing a fine save from Hugo. After that, he disappeared and did not show up again in the first half. He slipped while marking for the opponent’s second goal. He remained anonymous and was replaced by Cauly in the second half.

Calleri – 5.0 – Was booked after the scuffle following São Paulo’s goal. Did not have a great first half, but fought hard and left everything on the pitch as always. A poor game from the Tricolor captain.

Luan – 5.5 – Replaced Danielzinho in the 23rd minute of the second half to strengthen the marking. He was firm defensively and was booked late on after a shoving match.

Cauly – 5.5 – Came on for the ineffective Ferreirinha in the second half. Took a dangerous corner that resulted in an own goal by the opposition.

Wendell – No rating – Came on in the final minutes, replacing Enzo Díaz. Not enough time to do much.

André Silva – No rating – Came on for Bobadilla in search of the equalizer late on.

Roger Machado – 4.0 – With several players missing through injury, he made some changes to the team for the derby, which had a heated first half in Itaquera. After conceding two more goals in the second half, he tried to strengthen the midfield, but it was already too late and he left the derby defeated. He failed to win the tactical battle with Diniz and got his substitutions wrong.
