São Paulo ratings: Alisson at fault, Luciano’s drought goes on | OneFootball

São Paulo once again performed very poorly and ended up defeated by Ceará 1-0 on Monday night (29), on a day of fan protests at the entrance of Morumbi, in a match for the 25th round of the Brasileirão. In the first game after being eliminated from the Libertadores, no one played well, Alisson ended up giving away the ball for the opponent’s goal, and Luciano extended his goal drought by missing more chances. See the ratings and reviews:

Rafael – 5.0 – After making an easy save early on, he had to work hard to stop a good header from the opponent at 13 minutes. He was dribbled past for the goal already in the second half.

Rafael Tolói – 5.5 – Was doing well with two interceptions and almost no wrong passes, but left injured at 30’, feeling discomfort in his thigh, and was already icing it on the bench after feeling it on the field.

Arboleda – 5.0 – Went up at 23’ to head the ball in attack, but sent it wide. Had a safe first half at the back, with four defensive actions, but missed many passes. Got a yellow card at the end and, suspended, will miss the next match.

Alan Franco – 5.0 – Had trouble with Galeano in the opening minutes. Did well in the first half, with some clearances. Didn’t miss any of his 32 attempted passes. Was substituted at halftime for Lucas, in search of the win.

Cédric – 5.0 – Made a beautiful play on the left at the end of the first half, dribbling the defender and crossing with the outside of his foot to Luciano, who headed poorly. No highlights in the second half, was replaced by Maílton.

Alisson – 4.0 – Good movement in the first half, offering a passing option, with few passing errors. Tried a cross into the box at 18’, but didn’t find Luciano. Was very unlucky with a clearance towards his own area in the second half, giving the ball away for Ceará’s goal.

Bobadilla – 5.0 – Was solid in marking during the first half and distributed the ball well, but nothing outstanding. Average performance.

Rodriguinho – 4.5 – Started off well in attack, but made a clumsy switch at 12 minutes. Shortly after, tried a long shot, but it was way too high and off target. At the end of the first half, picked up a rebound in front of the box, shot, the ball deflected off the defense and hit Ceará’s crossbar. At 40’, another good chance, and a shot straight at the keeper. Substituted in the second half for Dinenno.

Enzo Díaz – 5.0 – Was heavily tested defensively on the left, but did well. Also contributed to the attack with some good crosses.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Luciano – 3.5 – Was too selfish in a play at 31 minutes. Wanted to do it all himself and, heavily marked, didn’t pass. At 39’, headed poorly in a good chance in the box. Very poor first half.

Ferreirinha – 5.0 – Tried to play on both the right and left wings, but was very ineffective in the plays he attempted in the first half, getting almost everything wrong. Finally woke up in the game and hit the opponent’s post in the first minute after halftime, in a great individual move. Did very poorly when trying to finish a good ball served by Lucas. With few flashes, was replaced by Lucca after another weak performance.

Sabino – 5.5 – Had to come on at 31’ of the first half, replacing the injured Tolói in defense. Deflected a dangerous ball at the end of the first half. Played well in the match. In stoppage time, contested a play in the box and the referee called a penalty. However, after VAR review, it was correctly overturned.

Lucas Moura – 5.5 – Came on at halftime, replacing Alan Franco. Made his first good play with a run down the right, serving Ferreira in the box. Was alert and made a characteristic run soon after, being stopped by a foul. Tried a few other individual runs, but lacked someone to accompany him. Gradually regaining ideal rhythm.

Lucca – 5.0 – Came off the bench in the second half to replace Ferreirinha, at 18’ of the second half. Didn’t manage to create much on the left side of the attack.

Maílton – No rating – Replaced Cédric at 24’ of the second half and didn’t make much difference.

Dinenno – No rating – Came on for Rodriguinho midway through the second half and barely touched the ball.

Hernán Crespo – 4.0 – Made some changes to the team after the elimination against LDU, but kept the core. Had to make a defensive change due to Tolói’s injury still in the first half. At halftime, brought on Lucas for Alan Franco. Made three more attacking changes, but kept Luciano, who was very poor in the match, until the end. Adds another defeat, the fourth in a row.
