U-15

The first match started off very competitive, with intense aerial duels in the opening stages. Coach Vinicius dos Santos opted for a more physical lineup in the first half to compete for every ball, since the condition of the pitch made aerial play the main attacking option.

The team tried to make the most of high balls, but also realized there was space to keep the ball on the ground and build up plays, and the strategy worked. With the team’s quality, in the 14th minute, after a good passing move, Yahgo got a shot away, the goalkeeper saved it, but on the rebound Kléber was there to open the scoring. Still in the first half, the team created more chances but could not extend the lead.

In the second half, the rain eased and, in the seventh minute, São Paulo goalkeeper Rafael Cestari made a great save. In the 14th minute, the opponents equalized, but in the 18th minute Victor Israel put São Paulo back in front and secured the win.

U-15: Rafael Cestari; Pedro Leão, Kaue Marcos, Gabryell and Felipe; Pietro, Guilherme, Diego (Yago, 28/2); Kléber (Juninho, 8/2), Yahgo (Lucas Antunes, 22/2) and Victor Israel (Luan, 28/2). Coach: Vinicius dos Santos

The match changed in the 29th minute, when striker Brenno was sent off, and the team had to play with one man fewer.

In the second half, the São Paulo side did not take long to extend the lead. Six minutes in, the opposing midfielder was also sent off and the match became 10 vs. 10.
