At the Mané Garrincha in Brasília, São Paulo drew 0-0 with Inter de Limeira on Monday (10th) in a delayed match from the first round of the 2025 Paulistão.

The Tricolor from Morumbi did not perform well in the first half, when they relied on ball possession and passing to try to break through the strong opposing defense.

The team from the interior, on the other hand, focused on fast plays and counterattacks.

The best chance of the first half was a missed header by Calleri. Inter de Limeira, however, had their left-back Juan Tavares sent off.

The second half, which saw the debut of Portuguese player Cedric Soares, was also low on excitement.

In the small area, Arboleda (34') shot wide. Shortly after, Ferreirinha (38') took a powerful long shot, but Igor Gabriel made a great save.

After the final whistle, the little over 10,000 São Paulo fans present at Mané Garrincha booed the team.
