Comeback stuns São Paulo, Marcos Antônio sums up bitter loss | OneFootball

It's still hard to digest. After leading 2-0 in the first half, São Paulo was overturned by Palmeiras and lost 3-2 at Morumbi, in a match of the 27th round of the Brasileirão.

Midfielder Marcos Antônio had been one of the highlights for the Tricolor, setting the pace in midfield and providing 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, who was responsible for the statements on the field about São Paulo's defeat in the classic.

"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 lift our heads and move on," said Marcos Antônio to the Premiere channel.

The bitter defeat prevents the Tricolor from dreaming of finishing the round in the Libertadores qualification zone. On the contrary, they are surpassed by Fluminense, with the same 38 points, but with an advantage in the tiebreaker criteria.

With the break for the FIFA Date, São Paulo will only return to the field on October 16th (Thursday) to face Grêmio, away from home, at 7 pm (Brasília time), also for the Brasileirão.
