Decisive figure tips the balance for São Paulo against Grêmio | OneFootball

Jonathan Calleri settled it in the 59th minute with a right-footed finish into the bottom left, as São Paulo beat Grêmio 2-0.

The Argentine striker broke the game open from a fast break, taking Luciano's pass and guiding his shot into the corner (59.). Against Imortal, his movement into the middle channel kept the centre-backs guessing.

He might have had another when he met a cross with a firm header, only for Weverton to hold in the centre of his goal (75.). Calleri continued to pin the line and offered an outlet whenever Soberano countered.

He finished with four attempts, two on target, and four touches in the box. He also won possession four times and drew three fouls, underlining how he led Tricolor Paulista's front line and sustained pressure after the breakthrough.

Because São Paulo looked for quick transitions into him, his timing on blind-side runs repeatedly disrupted Imortal and ensured the hosts controlled the key phases once ahead.

Soberano rise from fifth to first in the table. Tricolor Paulista visit Ponte Preta in the Paulista next, while Tricolor Gaúcho host Juventude in the Gaúcho.
