After thrashing by São Paulo, Lucas Silva apologises to fans | OneFootball

Cruzeiro once again delivered an inconsistent performance and was thrashed 4-1 away from home by São Paulo Futebol Clube, in another negative result in the Brazilian Championship. The Minas Gerais side showed some good moments at the start of each half, but once again struggled with disorganization after falling behind and ended up suffering another heavy defeat.

São Paulo took the lead in the first half, with a penalty goal from Calleri and a well-executed counterattack finished by Ferreira. After the break, Cruzeiro showed an immediate response through Christian, cutting the deficit in the very first minute. However, the team could not sustain the momentum and once again left spaces open, allowing Ferreira, in inspired form, to score two more goals and seal the result.

With the result, Cruzeiro remains in a delicate position in the standings. The team sits in 18th place with seven points, has just one win in ten matches, and owns the worst defense in the competition, while still having not won away from home.

On his way off the pitch, defensive midfielder and captain Lucas Silva did not hide his frustration with the performance and apologized to the fans in an interview with Premiere.

Cruzeiro’s next match will be in the Copa Libertadores. The team will make its debut in the continental competition against Barcelona Sporting Club on Tuesday (7) at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) in Guayaquil, looking to respond after yet another performance below expectations.
