São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha poor, Artur denied in shameful exit | OneFootball

São Paulo delivered a very underwhelming performance on Sunday night (31) in the final Brasileirão match before the World Cup break and ended up conceding in the closing minutes to lose 1-0 to Remo at Mangueirão stadium. In the first half, Artur missed a clear one-on-one chance, then saw the opposing keeper pull off a miracle save from a free kick. Ferreirinha wasted many attacking moves, and the dull second half, capped by a late goal, only made fans thankful for the break for the World Cup so Dorival Jr. can finally get the team to improve. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – Only needed to punch the ball away from the box twice in the first half. Pulled off a miracle save in the second half, but the play was offside. The one that counted went in at the end of the game.

Lucas Ramon – 6.0 – Nearly scored in the very first minute with a powerful shot saved by the goalkeeper. Didn’t misplace a single pass all match, but offered less support in attack. Defended well.

Alan Franco – 6.0 – Made three clearances and won back two balls in the first half, in addition to winning every aerial duel. Kept up the good level throughout the match, clearing danger well from São Paulo’s box.

Osorio – 5.5 – Also recovered important balls in the first half, but committed a foul that earned him a yellow card, and also played out poorly once and nearly caused trouble for the team in a play inside São Paulo’s box. Was more solid in the second half.

Enzo Diaz – 5.5 – In the final play of the first half, he tried his luck from distance and forced a great save from Ivan. He was important defensively and misplaced few passes, but picked up a yellow card before the break. He had been having a decent game until he made a mistake late on and gifted the ball for the opponent’s goal.

Pablo Maia – 5.5 – Didn’t stand out much in the first half, with few passing errors. Had more defensive work to do in the second half and handled it well.

Danielzinho – 5.5 – A quiet first half from the midfielder, though he was very accurate with his passing. Continued to produce little and was replaced by Hugo late in the match.

André Silva – 5.0 – Moved around a lot in the first half, played some good passes, but didn’t stand out. Continued to have little impact in the second half and was replaced by Marcos Antonio in the 61st minute.

Artur – 5.5 – Went one-on-one with the keeper in the 20th minute but couldn’t beat him. Took a spectacular free kick late in the first half, but the goalkeeper got there again. On a night without much sparkle, he could have given the team the win and was replaced by Tetê late on.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Ferreirinha – 4.5 – Made a good play early on, setting up Lucas Ramón, who nearly scored. After that, he barely appeared in the first half. He wasted many plays and lost possession several times in the second half. He had good attacking chances, but got every final decision wrong before being replaced by Lucca.

Calleri – 5.5 – Played a lovely ball to put Artur through one-on-one in the first half. Lots of fight and little football in the match. Came off late for Tapia.

Marcos Antonio – 5.5 – Returned to the pitch in the 61st minute, coming on for André Silva. Only misplaced two passes, but still needs to regain match sharpness.

Hugo – Unrated – Replaced Danielzinho midway through the second half. Barely touched the ball.

Tetê – Unrated – Came on for Artur in the second half and didn’t manage much.

Lucca – 5.5 – Came off the bench to give Ferreirinha a rest late in the second half. Brought some energy into the game and created a few dangerous moments.

Tapia – Unrated – Came on for the final minutes in place of Calleri.

Dorival Jr. – 4.5 – Kept the same lineup from the win over Boston River and went into halftime with a scoreless draw after missed chances. Brought Marcos Antonio back in the second half and made three more changes in search of the win, but it never came. The team still conceded the losing goal at the end, and he will have plenty of work to do during the break in the schedule.
