Comeback stings, Marcos Antônio sums up São Paulo’s mood after loss | OneFootball

It’s still hard to digest. After leading 2-0 in the first half, São Paulo suffered a comeback from Palmeiras and lost 3-2 right at Morumbi, in a match from the 27th round of the Brasileirão.

Midfielder Marcos Antônio had been one of the highlights for Tricolor, dictating the pace in midfield and delivering a monumental pass for Luciano to open the scoring in the Choque-Rei.

However, the disastrous comeback suffered in front of approximately 33,000 Tricolor fans overshadowed the player’s good performance, and he was the one to speak on the pitch about São Paulo’s defeat in the classic.

“A feeling of sadness. We were winning, we were playing a good match, unfortunately we suffered a comeback that we didn’t expect, but that’s it, now we have to keep our heads up and move on,” said Marcos Antônio to the Premiere channel.

The bitter defeat prevents Tricolor from dreaming of finishing the round in the Libertadores qualification zone. On the contrary, they end up being overtaken by Fluminense, who have the same 38 points but hold the advantage in the tiebreaker criteria.

With the break for the FIFA international window, São Paulo will only return to the field on October 16 (Thursday), to face Grêmio away, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), also for the Brasileirão.
