How the game went

Both teams had a good chance to take the lead in the final right at the beginning of the game. First, Paulinho appeared alone in the small area to head the ball, but he missed the goal for América-MG. Then, the hosts responded with a long shot from forward Karlos Samuel, which went just wide of the post.

In the added time of the first half, Nicolas opened the scoring for São Paulo. The full-back took advantage of a poorly cleared ball by the América-MG defense in the area and finished low into the corner of Lecce to give São Paulo the lead in the decision.

After the break, América-MG equalized. Luís Henrique capitalized on a mistake by goalkeeper João Pedro in the ball clearance and scored into the empty net. However, the Tricolor Paulista regained the lead at 22. After a free-kick from the left side of the attack, Isac rose above the defense to head the ball in.
