Got lucky! São Paulo on the brink in final Paulistão round, see table | OneFootball

São Paulo did its part and won in the penultimate round of the Paulistão, but was lucky to finish in the qualifying zone for the quarterfinals of the state competition.

With the 2-1 victory this Saturday (7) over Primavera, the Tricolor reached 10 points, moving up to 8th place. The team had already benefited from São Bernardo’s defeat—who could have reached 11 points—to the leader Novorizontino.

And this Sunday (8), yet another rival who could have overtaken São Paulo lost. Mirassol was defeated away from home 1-0 by Capivariano and remained with 8 points. The team from Capivari, meanwhile, tied with Tricolor at 10 points, but sits in 9th place due to an inferior goal difference.

Thus, the three-time world champion enters the final round depending only on itself to qualify: if they win, they advance. The match is against already relegated Ponte Preta on Sunday (15) during Carnival, in Campinas, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
