São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha, Lucca shine, foreigners seal win | OneFootball

São Paulo did not put on a great performance, but did the basics to beat Juventude 2-1 this Sunday afternoon (23) in a rainy Vila Belmiro, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. Defender Sabino gave many scares and was once again beaten by silly dribbles, but wingers Ferreirinha and Lucca, who each played one half on the left wing, made the difference, and midfielder Bobadilla was decisive by opening the scoring. In the final minutes, Rigoni extended the lead and Ferraresi scored an own goal. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.75 – After 44 initial minutes almost without touching the ball, made a great save with his feet at the end of the first half.
