São Paulo: Enzo Díaz blunders, Lucas disappoints in Bragantino loss | OneFootball

São Paulo performed poorly against Bragantino on Saturday night (9) and was defeated 1-0 at Vila Belmiro, in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. Lucas was quite absent and was subbed off at halftime. In the second half, Enzo Díaz committed a silly penalty that led to the defeat. See the ratings and evaluations:

Rafael – 5.0 – Had practically nothing to do in the first half, just a routine save in the middle of the goal. Was well beaten on the penalty kick.

Alan Franco – 5.5 – Returned to the defense after serving a suspension. Gave a scare and felt his thigh at the start, but stayed in the game and cleared danger well on his side. Remained solid during the second half, when the opponent attacked more. Was subbed off at the end for Rigoni.

Arboleda – 5.5 – Recovered some good balls in the first half. Had a secure game.

Sabino – 5.5 – Solid on the left side of the defense in the first half. Maintained a good level after halftime and had another good match.

Maik – 5.0 – Returned to the starting lineup. Showed a lot of energy at the start, but made poor decisions in the final third. Did not play well in the first half, but fulfilled his defensive duties. Remained unremarkable and was subbed off by Crespo for Maílton in the 18th minute of the second half.

Luiz Gustavo – 5.0 – After a good game against Flamengo, kept his place in the team. Was responsible for bringing the ball out through the middle, but faced strong marking and misplaced some passes. Was replaced by Alisson in the second half.

Bobadilla – 5.0 – Finally made the opposing goalkeeper work with a long shot that deflected and almost went in. But also missed many passes in the first half and left some gaps in marking.

Lucas – 4.5 – Started today playing as a central attacking midfielder. Missed an easy pass in midfield that led to a counterattack early in the game. Had a great chance in the 21st minute, right in front of goal, but shot low and wide. Did not have a good first half and was subbed off at halftime for Tapia.

DISAPPOINTMENT: Enzo Díaz – 4.0 – Another one returning after suspension. In defense, the usual lion. Failed to connect well with Ferreirinha in attacking plays. Came in clumsily on Lucas Barbosa in the box in the second half, committed a silly penalty, and received a yellow card.

Ferreirinha – 5.5 – After a great performance, remained in the attack. Took a dangerous corner in the first half that almost went straight in. Was the one who tried the most to break through the defense, but lacked support. One of the rare highlights of the first half. Performance dropped after halftime.

Luciano – 5.0 – Had the first shot for São Paulo, in the 16th minute, but it went wide. Couldn't get the final pass right and was another who didn't play well in the first half. Was also missing in the second half, until he tried a powerful shot that went just wide.

Tapia – 5.0 – Came on at halftime replacing the absent Lucas. Didn't seem very focused in the first minutes. In the 31st minute, forced a good save from the opposing goalkeeper with a strong shot. Fought hard, but didn't change the offensive outlook.

Maílton – 5.0 – Replaced Maik in the second half. Delivered a good free kick onto Alan Franco's head right away. Improved the right side of the attack a bit, but couldn't do much.

Alisson – 5.0 – Came on for Luiz Gustavo in the 18th minute of the second half. Distributed the ball well and made some tackles.

Rigoni – No rating – Came on at the end for Alan Franco in search of an equalizer and barely touched the ball.

Hernán Crespo – 5.0 – Already used to absences, fielded a front three against Braga. After a very weak first half, returned from halftime with Tapia in place of Lucas. The change didn't work very well. After conceding the goal, took off Alan Franco to bring on striker Rigoni, but suffered another defeat.
