São Paulo ratings: Ferreirinha, Dinenno quiet, Young impresses vs Santos | OneFootball

São Paulo played a terrible match against Santos this Sunday at Vila Belmiro. The tricolor team barely troubled the opposing defense, on a very quiet night for the duo Dinenno and Ferreirinha. With a lethargic São Paulo in Baixada, the home team won the match 1-0. The only positive point in the game was the good performance of goalkeeper Young, who got another chance in the starting lineup.

Check out São Paulo's player ratings:

Young: Best São Paulo player on the field. 6.5. Made two great saves in the first half. This time, he didn’t feel the pressure of starting. In the final minutes, he even went into the Santos box to try to equalize with a header.

Negrucci: 5. Had a lot of work in the first half, since most of the opponent’s offensive plays came down the right side. Didn’t compromise.

Sabino: 5. Played on the left side of the defense. Played seriously, within his limitations. Was not at fault for the goal.

Rafael Tolói: 5.5. Solid in marking and made good tackles. Felt tired.

Maílton: 4.5. With the 3-5-2 formation, he had more freedom to push forward, but rarely reached the byline. In the second half, made a big mistake by allowing Guilherme to rise easily and head in Santos’ goal.

Luan: 5. São Paulo’s captain in the derby, the midfielder focused on defending, rarely pushing forward. Felt groin pain and was replaced by Marcos Antônio.

Alisson: 4.8. Was playing as a typical defensive midfielder until São Paulo conceded the goal. After that, he pushed up more, playing almost as a left-sided attacking midfielder.

Rodriguinho: 5. Well-marked in the first 45 minutes. Created little and was substituted at halftime.

Wendell: 4.5. Frequently pushed forward in the first half, but lacked support from the attack. Poor performance. Made way for Enzo Diaz.

Ferreirinha: 4. Far below expectations. Missed a golden chance in the first half. Had another one-on-one with Brazão, but lost again (later saw he was offside).

Dinenno: 4. Completely invisible in the first half. Substituted at halftime.

Bobadilla: 5. Came on for Rodriguinho. Limited himself to containing advances from Zé Rafael and Rollheiser.

Rigoni: 4.8. Started the second half to exploit the spaces left by the Santos defense. Ran a lot, but created almost nothing.

Marcos Antônio: 5. Gave São Paulo a slight improvement, trying to speed up plays in midfield.

Luciano: 4.5. Was barely seen, but had a good chance inside the box, yet failed to control the ball.

Enzo Díaz: 5. In the short time he was on the field, tried to find the equalizer, sending the ball into the box.

Hernán Crespo: 4.5. São Paulo was virtually nonexistent offensively. The attacking duo didn’t exploit the gaps left by the Santos defense, especially in the first half. Crespo noticed and brought on a pacey player (Rigoni), but there was no improvement. The changes throughout the game also had no effect.
