Even with first-team ‘pick’, São Paulo lose to Bragantino in U20s | OneFootball

São Paulo were beaten 2-0 by Bragantino this Thursday (11) at CFA Laudo Natel, in Cotia (SP), in the 15th round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. As a result, the team remains on 18 points in the standings, well outside the top eight.

Even fielding a true ‘all-star’ lineup of young players who are already part of the senior squad, Tricolor were beaten at home. Igor Felisberto, Nicolas, Djhordney Pedro Ferreira, Lucca, Tetê and Ryan, all of whom already train at the Barra Funda training center, were on the pitch in the defeat.

São Paulo’s youth team had more attacking presence than their opponents in the first half. However, from a free kick awarded after a back-pass to the goalkeeper with the feet, the visitors opened the scoring in the 44th minute. In the second half, the team from the countryside doubled their lead on a counterattack in the 15th minute.

São Paulo pushed for a comeback and created several chances late in the match, but were unable to find the net and suffered another defeat in the national under-20 competition.

Tricolor’s next Brazilian Under-20 Championship match is scheduled for June 17, when the team will face Juventude at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at CFAC Juventude, in Caxias do Sul (RS). Before that, the Made In Cotia side will host Bandeirante on Saturday (13), also at 3 p.m., at CFA Laudo Natel.

Under-20: João Nazari; Igor Felisberto, Isac, Alisson and Nicolas; Matheus Ferreira (Guilherme Reis, 37/2), Djhordney (Bezerra, 18/2), Pedro Ferreira (Léo, at halftime); Lucca (Davi Pena, 18/2), Tetê (Juan Potes, 18/2) and Ryan (Nicolas Kauan, 26/2). Head coach: Júlio Baptista.
