Under-20s beat EC São Bernardo in the Campeonato Paulista

On Saturday morning, São Paulo beat EC São Bernardo 3-1 at Estádio do Taboão, in São Bernardo do Campo (SP), in the sixth round of the Paulista Championship. Tricolor’s goals were scored by Djhordney, Juan Potes, and Lucyan.

The opening minutes of the match were marked by plenty of aerial duels and few scoring chances. São Paulo’s first big opportunity came in the 25th minute, when Lucyan played a great long ball to Robert, who controlled it, got away from his marker and, with no room to shoot, passed to Davi. The forward tried to find Djhordney in the box, but the opposing defense cleared the danger. Two minutes later, however, the Made in Cotia side opened the scoring. The move started with goalkeeper João Nazari, who began the build-up from the back. Juan Potes received the ball on the wing, attacked the space, and found Djhordney inside the area. Wearing the No. 11 shirt, he dribbled past a defender and finished precisely to make it 1-0.

Right after halftime, the opponent equalized in the very first minute by taking advantage of a counterattack to level the score. Even after conceding, Tricolor kept up the intensity and went back in front in the 17th minute. Matheus Ferreira won the ball back with strong pressing and found Robert, who played a precise through ball to Bezerra. The midfielder passed to Juan Potes, who struck firmly and scored São Paulo’s second goal. Then, in the 43rd minute, Guilherme Reis took a throw-in into the box. The defense tried to clear it, but Léo came out on top in the challenge, burst down the left, got past four defenders, and squared it to Lucyan. The full-back was left unmarked, finished, and put the final numbers on the match: 3-1 to São Paulo.

With the win, the team coached by Júlio Baptista moved up to 13 points in the state competition after five matches played. Their campaign includes four wins and one draw, a record that puts Tricolor in second place in Group 2, behind only Ibrachina.

The Under-20 team’s next match will be next Saturday (18) at 3 p.m. against Velo Clube at Estádio Benito Agnelo Castellano, in Rio Claro (SP), in the seventh round of the Paulista Championship. The match will be broadcast on Paulistão’s YouTube channel.
