São Paulo ratings: Luciano misses, Bobadilla blunders in exit | OneFootball

All the excitement of the fans crumbled on the field at Morumbi. São Paulo played a poor match on Thursday night (25th), lost 1-0 to LDU, and was eliminated in the Libertadores quarterfinals. Luciano, once again, missed many clear chances, and to make matters worse, Bobadilla failed in a crucial play, which resulted in the Ecuadorians' goal. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 4.0 – Didn't make a single save, and the shot that went in was unstoppable.

Alan Franco – 4.0 – Didn't have much work in the first half, but was reliable when called upon. Didn't do well in building up play from the back. Was subbed off at halftime to make the team more offensive.

Arboleda – 5.0 – Made good clearances during the match and didn't compromise.

Sabino – 5.0 – Earned a starting spot due to Ferraresi's injury. Pushed forward well early on to help organize the game. Solid defensively, no scares.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Rigoni – 3.5 – Another one chosen to start in search of a result, playing on the right wing. Was alert in a confusing play in the box and hit the post with a powerful shot early on. Made a mistake at the end of the first half in a corner play, allowing LDU a counterattack. With many passing and crossing errors, he was replaced by Lucas Moura in the second half.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Bobadilla – 3.0 – Had a very dangerous shot before ten minutes, aiming for the corner, but the goalkeeper made the save. Failed at the end of the first half by not stopping LDU's counterattack, which led to the opening goal. Lost possession many times and misplaced passes. Was subbed off at halftime for striker Dinenno.

Pablo Maia – 4.5 – Not as bad as Bobadilla, also misplaced many passes, but was more combative in midfield marking.

Rodriguinho – 4.5 – Not much of a highlight in the first half, tried a good shot just before halftime, saved by the goalkeeper. Moved around a lot, but didn't have a good game. Was subbed off at the end.

Enzo Díaz – 5.0 – Had another great chance to score in the first half, but sent the ball over from inside the box. Showed plenty of grit and was one of the best in defense.

Ferreirinha – 4.5 – Was very clever to call for a short corner and set up Luciano in the box, who missed. Was very involved in the first half. Performance dropped and was subbed off in the second half.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Luciano – 3.0 – Had the first big chance to score at his feet, but got tangled up with the goalkeeper before Rigoni's shot hit the post. Missed another great opportunity shortly after from a good pass by Ferreirinha. At 27’, headed weakly straight at the goalkeeper. In the final minutes, another ball fell to him in the six-yard box. But the night wasn't his, with yet another missed goal. Once again lamented missing decisive chances that led to elimination.

Maílton – 5.5 – Came on at halftime and posed a real threat with set pieces and crosses. Solid in defense.

Dinenno – 4.0 – Also came off the bench at halftime to try to spark a reaction. Barely touched the ball and only managed one off-target shot.

Lucas – No rating – Returned to the team at the 21st minute of the second half, replacing Rigoni. Tried a few runs down the right, without success.

Lucca – No rating – Replaced Ferreirinha halfway through the second half. Couldn't change the scenario.

Alisson – No rating – Came on for Rodriguinho at the end.

Hernán Crespo – 3.5 – With some absences, made changes to the team, with Rigoni on the wing. It didn't work and they went into halftime losing. Made substitutions in the locker room to try to turn things around, then brought Lucas back, but ended up suffering elimination from the Libertadores.
