São Paulo ratings: Crespo struggles, defence crumbles in exit | OneFootball

São Paulo was swallowed by Palmeiras on the night of this Sunday (1) at Arena Barueri, lost 2-1 and was eliminated from the Paulistão with a weak performance and defensive errors in both rival goals. No one managed to stand out significantly, especially the offensive trio, except for Calleri's penalty goal. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 4.5 – The only shot on goal in the 1st half went in, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Not to blame for the second goal either, he didn't need to make any major saves.

Lucas Ramon – 4.5 – Made the team's first good shot, already at 32 minutes, with a first-time bomb that went over. He was good defensively, winning all duels, but lacked better support for the attack.

Arboleda – 4.0 – Was dribbled by Vitor Roque in the goal play and couldn't recover in the move. Won some other duels in the 1st half. In the second half, failed to clear the aerial ball for the second goal.

Sabino – 5.0 – Better than his partner in the 1st half, with cuts and ball recoveries. Received a yellow card for a foul already in the second half and also couldn't prevent the second rival goal.

Enzo Díaz – 4.0 – Was as secure as usual on the left side of the defense, but also lacked offensive presence in the initial stage. Missed too many crosses.

Luan – 5.0 – Was Crespo's big surprise for the classic. Fulfilled the role of marker and almost didn't miss passes in the first stage of the classic. Without great highlights, he was replaced by Danielzinho in the second half.

Bobadilla – 4.5 – Couldn't escape the strong rival marking and had a lot of difficulty making the team rotate through the middle. Another who performed poorly in the classic, he was replaced at the end by Cauly.

Marcos Antônio – 5.5 – Blocked a good shot from Maurício inside the area still in the initial stage. Was the only one who tried to play ball in the 1st half, but lacked company. Very firm in marking.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Lucas – 4.0 – Barely touched the ball in the first half and didn't create any dangerous plays. Returned more focused after the break, sprinting a few times. Left the game in the final moments for André Silva's entry after a weak performance.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Luciano – 3.5 – Another who was missing in the initial stage, with some passing errors in the attack. Too absent for someone who wants to be an idol.

Calleri – 5.5 – Lots of struggle and little effectiveness from the number 9 in the team's weak 1st half. Scored a penalty in the second half, shooting in the middle of the goal, but was also not at his best.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – At 10’, came off the bench to replace Luan, shortly before the second rival goal. Greatly improved the team's ball exit, but not enough for victory.

Cauly – No rating – Entered already at 31 minutes of the final stage, replacing Bobadilla. Received a yellow shortly after for a hard foul and did little on the field.

André Silva – No rating – Made his return to the field after a long injury, already in the final minutes of the classic. Barely touched the ball.

Hernán Crespo – 3.5 – Reinforced the midfield with Luan's entry as a starter. But saw his team be swallowed in the 1st half and almost not play football, being easy prey for Palmeiras' strong marking. Made changes to the team only in the final stage, Danielzinho for Luan. Minutes later, conceded the second goal. Didn't make good changes in search of a draw and was eliminated from the Paulistão.
