São Paulo ratings: Dória and Sabino err badly in loss to Fluminense | OneFootball

São Paulo suffered its third straight defeat this Saturday (16) after falling 2-1 to Fluminense due to mistakes by its center-back pairing, made up of Sabino and Dória, who did pull one back in the second half at the Maracanã in the Brasileirão clash. See the ratings and assessments:

Rafael – 5.0 – He was left stranded on Flu’s goal and didn’t know what to do. In the second half, he made a great save just 7 minutes in on a powerful angled shot.

Lucas Ramon – 5.0 – Returned to the team after injury and nearly scored with a header from a good corner kick in the 17th minute of the first half. He was solid defensively with some tackles, got forward at times, but misplaced a lot of passes. He came off late for Cédric.

Dória – 3.5 – Couldn’t keep up on the first goal conceded. Then gifted the second by playing the ball out poorly. A disastrous first half. He redeemed himself in the second half by scoring with a header from a corner.

Sabino – 4.0 – Was far too shaky in marking on Fluminense’s first goal. He made some clearances in the first half, but didn’t play well. He nearly scored with a header in the second half and set it up for Dória to pull one back.

Enzo Diaz – 4.0 – After 12 minutes, he tried a long-range shot, but without much direction. He left defensive gaps and didn’t do well going forward in the first half at the Maracanã. He also picked up a silly yellow card in the second half for kicking the ball away with play stopped, which rules him out of the next match.

Bobadilla – 5.5 – Took the team’s first shot in the opening minute. He hardly misplaced a pass in the first half and won back a few balls. He was also booked in the second half.

Danielzinho – 5.0 – Didn’t offer much support in attack, but was solid in marking. A quiet performance.

Cauly – 4.5 – Had an uneventful first half. He continued to produce little in the second half and was taken off for Ferreirinha in the 18th minute.

Artur – 5.5 – Tried to do something different out wide in the first half, but lacked better support. Attempted a weak long-range shot early in the second half. Was booked for stopping the opposition’s counterattack with a foul in the 21st minute. He was the one who tried the most in attack.

Wendell – 4.0 – Was deployed further forward, in a setup with two full-backs, and was very poor in the first half, misplacing passes and failing to create anything. He was replaced by Luan in the second half.

André Silva – 4.5 – Was given another chance in the team. Very anonymous in the first half, and received a yellow card for challenging for the ball with his leg too high. Only in the 38th minute did he manage a good individual move, dribbling past his marker and placing a shot, but it was far too weak. He came off for Tapia in the second half.

Ferreirinha – 5.0 – Came on in the second half for Cauly. Tried a few individual plays down the wing, but got nothing out of them.

Luan – 5.5 – Replaced Wendell in the 31st minute of the second half and nearly scored with his first involvement, latching onto a loose ball, but Fábio made a spectacular save. He made some clearances.

Tapia – 5.0 – Came on for the ineffective André Silva late in the game and gave the team fresh energy, but not enough.

Cédric – No rating – Came on in the final minutes in place of Lucas Ramón.

Milton Cruz – 4.0 – Once again in interim charge of Tricolor, he went with two full-backs on the left and it completely backfired, with two goals conceded in the first half alone. He replaced the ineffective Cauly with Ferreirinha in the 18th minute of the second half, got one goal back, but the team failed to respond.
