São Paulo ratings: shaky defence, Lucas Ramon sent off in loss to Vitória | OneFootball

São Paulo did not play well against Vitória and lost 2-0 on the afternoon of this Saturday (11), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão, in a match in Salvador (BA). Full-back Lucas Ramon was sent off early in the second half, when Tricolor were already behind, making things even worse for the team. The defense made mistakes on both goals, and the attack was ineffective at Barradão. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – Kept the team alive by doing well to close down the goal on a play that was ruled out for a questionable offside. Right after halftime, he made a comfortable save on a shot from the Bahia side and a few others with little danger in the second half. Not at fault for the goals conceded.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Lucas Ramon – 3.5 – Had a quiet first half, with little impact going forward. In the 8th minute of the second half, he raised his foot too high and struck the opponent in the face, earning a red card.

Alan Franco – 4.5 – Slipped up by allowing Kayzer to get in behind, but was saved by the offside call. He complained to Marcos Antônio about the play. Later, he just watched during the general defensive breakdown on the goal conceded. Improved in the second half, winning back a few balls.

Rafael Toloi – 5.0 – A first half without major issues, with some good defensive actions. Kept up a steady performance in the second half. Picked up a yellow card late in the game, which rules him out of Tricolor’s next match.

Enzo Diaz – 5.5 – Regained his starting spot at left-back. Very solid defensively and involved in attack, always offering an option on the flank. Had a decent game and was replaced by Wendell in the 20th minute of the second half.

Danielzinho – 5.0 – With Bobadilla absent, he remained in Roger’s starting lineup. Moved around a lot and misplaced only two passes in the first half, but did not stand out much. Defensively, he did well, winning back possession and coming out on top in duels. He remained unspectacular in the final stage and was replaced by Lucca near the end.

Marcos Antônio – 5.75 – Tried a dangerous long-range shot in the 16th minute, low into the corner, which the goalkeeper managed to save. He was booked for a hard foul still in the first half. He had the most touches in the first half, also with only two misplaced passes, and was firm in marking. He tried again from outside the box early in the second half, but it went wide. He did not hide and practically played alone in midfield.

Cauly – 4.5 – Moved well, but did not have a strong first half, seeing little of the ball. He finally delivered a good cross for André Silva early in the second half, when he was more involved in the game. However, he was taken off for Cédric after Lucas Ramon’s sending-off.

Ferreirinha – 5.5 – Was very available on the left, beat his man a few times, but did not stand out in the first half. Worked hard defensively, winning back some balls. Two minutes into the second half, he got between two defenders and shot from distance, with a deflection off the defense. He was replaced by Tetê in the 11th minute of the second half.

Artur – 5.75 – Just 2 minutes into the game, he had Tricolor’s first shot, a placed effort that was saved by the goalkeeper. He produced a beautiful individual move in the 44th minute, dribbling past his marker and hitting a low shot. The goalkeeper got a foot to it, but the referee did not award the corner. Despite being only lightly involved, he was the team’s biggest threat in the first half. However, he faded after halftime.

André Silva – 4.5 – Did poorly marking Cacá, who scored Vitória’s goal. He finally showed up in attack with a low shot at the end of the first half, which was saved by the goalkeeper. Early in the second half, he headed the ball straight at the center of the goal. Quiet once again, he was replaced late on by Tapia.

Cédric – 5.0 – After Ramon’s sending-off, he came on for Cauly early in the second half to help restore Tricolor’s defense. Did what he always does: nothing.

Tetê – 5.0 – Replaced Ferreirinha in the 11th minute of the second half and immediately looked lively. But he could not find solutions to break through the opposing defense.

Wendell – 5.5 – Came on for Enzo Díaz in the 20th minute of the second half. Produced a good move by dribbling and shooting from distance, but without much power.

Tapia – 5.0 – Came on for the ineffective André Silva in the 20th minute of the second half. He also did not manage much.

Lucca – No rating – Took the field in the 32nd minute, replacing Danielzinho.

Roger Machado – 4.5 – Had many injury absences for the match. He saw the team produce an uninspired first half and go behind 1-0. With Lucas Ramon sent off early in the second half, he made two changes. Shortly after, he made two more and tried one last gamble with Lucca near the end, but was beaten away from home.
