São Paulo struggle, concede three and face 'olé' chants vs Mirassol | OneFootball

The São Paulo team, experiencing a tense atmosphere off the field... debuted with a defeat in the Paulistão-2026.

Playing at Maião against Mirassol, a newcomer in this year's Libertadores, the Tricolor lost 3-0 on the night of this Sunday (11).

They performed poorly in the first half and even improved after the break.

But they witnessed last year's big surprise in Brazilian football being lethal once again.

This led to chants of "olé" in the final minutes of the match.

Deserved Victory for the Hosts

Mirassol took the lead just seven minutes in.

Daniel Borges made a move down the left and the Tricolor defense hesitated, expecting a foul to be called.

However, Matheus Candançan played the advantage, Shaylon hit the post, and the alert Lucas Mugni scored on the rebound.

The attempt to react did come. Crespo's team had more possession.

But without posing any real threat. They lacked, for example, the organization that the other side had in abundance.

It was up to Mirassol to be lethal once again at 20'.

An attempted cross by Alesson resulted in an own goal by Alan Franco.

Crespo Works, But...

SPFC returned from the break with Ferreira and the debutant Danielzinho.

And the improvement was clear, with the number 11 making a difference.

He set up Cedric nicely to score and then almost scored himself.

Lucas Mugni had the chance to extend the lead but was stopped by Rafael.

Then came Mayke's expulsion at 37', after a challenge on Daniel Borges.

The Tricolor did not give up. But they saw Mirassol punish them once again.

A move down the right, Rafael's mistake, and a goal by José Aldo (44').

The organized Mirassol was competent against an SPFC that will need to "find itself" in pursuit of a positive season.
