Cédric – 5.0 – Stationed on the right, contributed little offensively. In another weak game, was replaced by Lucas Ramon in the second half.

Marcos Antônio – 6.0 – Always presented himself in midfield to distribute play, with his usual quality. But failed to find that final pass. Tried a shot from outside the box at the end, but missed. Managed to guide Tricolor better in the second half.

BEST ON THE FIELD: Lucas – 7.75 – Started once again. Free in the middle and drifting wide, made a good run early on. At times, needed to release the ball quicker. At 19’, combined well and set up Tapia for a shot. Was targeted and fouled often in the first half, which was a good one at Morumbi. Got into the box to finish off a good attacking move and score his first goal of the year. Left the field to a standing ovation at the end, replaced by Pedro Ferreira.

Enzo Diaz – 6.0 – Always very dangerous with rehearsed corner kicks. Solid as always in defense and made good runs forward. Delivered a beautiful pass to Calleri in the box in the second half. Another good game from the Argentine.

Ferreirinha – 5.5 – Got another chance with Crespo in attack. Created good chances with his pace early on and fought hard for the ball up front. But disappeared in the latter part of the first half. Returned with better rhythm in the second half, dribbling forward, but lacked the best final decisions. Was replaced by Lucca.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Tapia – 5.0 – Shot weakly after a good play by Lucas, straight at the goalkeeper. Barely touched the ball in the first half. Poor performance, was subbed off at 10’ in the second half for Calleri.

Luciano – 6.5 – Came on right after halftime, replacing center-back Dória. Didn’t stand out much, but had a headed chance that went wide. Provided a beautiful pass to Calleri in the build-up to the goal. Improved with some good plays. In one, dribbled into the box and was fouled. After VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty and sent off a Primavera player. Crucial for the comeback, with excellent passing.

Calleri – 7.0 – Replaced Tapia right after the goal conceded and had his first shot soon after, but missed. Misjudged Enzo’s ball, got tangled, and shot wide off-balance.

Shows improvement every day.

Danielzinho – 6.0 – Came off the bench to replace Bobadilla in midfield. Set up Lucas well to equalize at Morumbi. Rarely misplaced a pass.

Pedro Ferreira – No rating – Replaced Lucas in the final minutes.

Hernán Crespo – 6.5 – Made some changes to the team, resting some tired players. Saw his team dominate the first half but fail to convert chances. Made a change at halftime, taking off center-back Dória for striker Luciano. Conceded a goal and soon after brought on Calleri and Danielzinho. Then made two more changes until achieving the equalizer and the comeback goal.
