Under-15The first match started evenly, with both teams battling for every ball and struggling to create clear scoring chances.

São Paulo’s first big chance came in the seventh minute, when Pietro picked up a rebound at the edge of the box, hit it first time, and struck the post. The pressure continued, and in the 12th minute Yahgo opened the scoring for the Tricolor after Juninho broke into the area and squared it for the center-forward to find the net.

In the second half, São Paulo kept control of the match and came close to extending the lead. In the 29th minute, Ruann delivered a precise cross for Lucas Antunes, who headed just wide of the post. In the 37th minute, Lucas Jorge received a good pass and shot, but the ball deflected off the defense and fell to the opponent, who equalized on the counterattack, sealing the final score of the match.

Under-15: Felipe Avila; Ruann, Gabryell, João Marcos and Felipe (Guilherme, 23/2); Pietro, Lucas Jorge and Luisinho (29/2, Enzo Henrique); Arthur (Lucas Antunes, 19/2), Juninho (Gilbert, 23/2) and Yahgo (Victor Israel, 19/2). Head coach: Vinícius dos Santos.

Under-17In the second match of the day, the first half was even more hard-fought, with few chances for either side. São Paulo’s best opportunity came in the 17th minute, when right-back Rafael received the ball near the edge of the area, took a shot, and came very close to finding the top corner.

However, after the break, the Tricolor needed just one minute to open the scoring. Arthur Kapaz made a great individual play, got past his marker, and found Coppede, who delivered a perfect cross for Júlio to head into the back of the net.

The team remained in control of the match and, in the 27th minute, after the opposing defense only partially cleared the ball, Brenno pounced on the loose ball and finished accurately to double the lead and confirm São Paulo’s 2-0 victory.

Under-17: João Soato; Rafael (Raphael, 31/2), Artur Kapaz, Lysander (Gabriel, 10/2) and Júlio (Nycollas Camilo, 31/2); João Marcos, Wellington and Erick (João Lucas, 20/2); Coppede (Mikael, 10/2), Hiago (Pedro Ruan, 10/2) and Nicolas Francisco (Brenno, 20/2). Head coach: Alexandre Torrezan.
