Libertadores hangover: São Paulo lose home debut to Ceará | OneFootball

In a cold and empty MorumBIS, São Paulo lost to Ceará 1-0 this Monday (29th), in the match that closed out the 25th round of the Brasileirão.

After being eliminated in the Libertadores quarterfinals, the Tricolor Paulista played an extremely apathetic match.

Even so, in the first half, Rodriguinho hit the crossbar.

Soon after halftime, it was Ferreirinha's turn to hit the post.

Finally, it was up to Pedro Henrique, former Corinthians striker, to score a beautiful goal, dribbling past goalkeeper Rafael, to open the scoring for Ceará.

In stoppage time, a penalty was even called against the Tricolor, but the decision was overturned after a VAR review, to the relief of the little more than 12,000 fans present - the worst attendance at MorumBIS this season.

With this result, São Paulo reached its fourth consecutive defeat of the season: twice to LDU (0-2 and 0-1) in the Libertadores, and once to Santos (1-0) in the Brasileirão.

Vozão, meanwhile, made history: this is Ceará's first win at MorumBIS in the Brasileirão.

🚦 What now

With the result, São Paulo stayed at 35 points and in seventh place. Ceará, meanwhile, reached 31 points and climbed to 11th place.

The teams return to the field next Thursday (2nd), with Tricolor Paulista visiting Fortaleza at Arena Castelão, and Vozão facing Vitória at Barradão.
