In Salvador, São Paulo fall to Vitória

This Saturday (11), São Paulo were beaten 2-0 by Vitória at Manoel Barradas in Salvador (BA), in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The goals were scored by Cacá and Ramon.

São Paulo started the match with an attacking approach and created the first chance just two minutes in: Enzo crossed into the box, Artur picked up the loose ball and shot, but the goalkeeper made the save. In the 16th minute, Marcos Antonio tried his luck from outside the box, forcing the goalkeeper to stay alert and palm it away for a corner. Despite the promising start, it was Vitória who opened the scoring in the 34th minute through center-back Cacá. The Tricolor’s best chance came in the 44th minute: Marcos Antonio played a pass to Artur, who got past his marker and squared it to Cauly in the box, but the midfielder could not reach the ball and put it into the back of the net.

In the second half, São Paulo came back looking to take control of the match and put pressure on the opposition. Just two minutes in, Ferreira made a great individual run down the left, dribbled past three defenders and shot, but the ball took a deflection and went out for a corner. In the 8th minute, Lucas Ramon was sent off after stopping an attack. Even with a man advantage, Tricolor were unable to turn possession into goals. In the 37th minute, Ramon added a second for the home side, and the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

São Paulo return to action next Tuesday (14) at 7 p.m., when they will make their CONMEBOL Sudamericana debut at MorumBIS against O’Higgins-CHI. In the Brazilian Championship, the team play again on Saturday (18) at 6:30 p.m. against Vasco at São Januário.
