São Paulo cruise to victory and go top of the Brasileirão overnight 🔝 | OneFootball

São Paulo defeated Grêmio this Wednesday (11) in a match for the third round of the Brasileirão.

The result at Morumbi allows the Tricolor Paulista to sleep at the top of the championship, with seven points accumulated.

The match was the first under Hernán Crespo's command with Luciano, Lucas Moura, and Calleri together as starters.

And the Argentine was the standout of the match, scoring the goal that opened the scoring and provoking an expulsion.

Besides the poor performance, Grêmio also had to play almost the entire second half with one player less.

Wagner Leonardo was sent off after receiving two yellow cards, both for fouls committed against Calleri.

The Game

São Paulo's victory was achieved without great difficulties, to the point that Rafael almost didn't need to work.

The team led by Hernán Crespo opened the scoring with just over 20 minutes of play, from a penalty kick.

Weverton poorly exited the goal and fouled Danielzinho inside the area. Lucas Moura took the penalty and opened the scoring.

The situation for the home team became even easier with the expulsion of Wagner Leonardo at the beginning of the second half.

São Paulo didn't take long to take advantage of the numerical advantage, scoring the second goal with Calleri in a play that also involved Luciano and Lucas Moura.

Shortly after, the score almost reached 3-0 with another penalty kick, but Weverton saved Luciano's shot.
