São Paulo ratings: Dória gifts one and a pen, ruins Dorival Júnior debut | OneFootball

São Paulo started the match well, but ended up drawing 1-1 with Millonarios on Tuesday night (19) at Morumbi in the Copa Sudamericana. Dória was Tricolor’s biggest negative standout, making an ugly mistake on the Colombian side’s goal and then conceding a penalty late on, which the opponent wasted. See the ratings:

Rafael – 5.5 – He was called into action for the first time only in the final minutes of the first half, making a brilliant one-on-one save. In the 10th minute of the second half, he made another good intervention to clear the danger. Not at fault for the goal, which took a deflection, and was fortunate that Millonarios missed the penalty.

Lucas Ramon – 5.5 – Put in a solid first half defensively, but offered little going forward. Early in the second half, he got forward well and delivered a beautiful cross that nearly led to a Ferreirinha goal. He was much more involved in attack after the break.

Alan Franco – 6.0 – Returned to the team after injury. Cleared a dangerous ball in the box with a header in the 21st minute and had a good first half, with a few other interceptions as well. Maintained his level in the second half.

POOR: Dória – 3.0 – Kept in the starting lineup by Dorival. Lost some possession and a few aerial duels in the first half, but did not cost the team. In the second half, though, he made another mistake by badly clearing a high ball, failing to stop the opponent, and allowing the Colombian side to equalize. He also gave away a penalty late on, which the opposition blasted wide.

Enzo Díaz – 5.5 – Did well defensively and helped in the build-up, but also failed to contribute much in attack. Did not have a great game and was replaced by Lucca late on.

Danielzinho – 6.0 – With the team piling on pressure early in the match, he also tried a long-range shot in the 12th minute, but it went well over. He owned the midfield in the first half, completing all 32 of his passes. He also won the ball back for the team. He kept controlling the side in the second half until being replaced by Luan late on, having made just one misplaced pass out of 59.

Bobadilla – 5.5 – Misplaced a dangerous pass in the first half that forced Rafael to rush out and clear. But he was not bad overall, showing quality in passing and marking. Picked up a yellow card for a foul in the second half, where he maintained his level.

Luciano – 6.5 – Another player returning after an injury spell. Tried a long-range shot without much danger in the 8th minute and benefited from a huge goalkeeper blunder to open the scoring. Moments later, he tried to score with a backheel, but this time the keeper held on. Faded for the rest of the first half until producing a beautiful through ball for Calleri late on, but the defense cleared it. Also did well with his passing distribution. Dropped off in the final stretch and was replaced in the closing minutes by André Silva.

Artur – 5.5 – Had a poor first half. He failed to connect on crosses and dribbles and struggled with his bursts toward goal. Another player who picked up a needless yellow card for a hard challenge in the second half. Finally managed a good individual move, cutting past his marker and shooting toward the corner, but wide, in the 34th minute of the second half, when he had improved considerably.

Ferreirinha – 5.0 – Also failed to stand out on the other flank, without creating good chances for the team to score. Showed up well in the air early in the second half and nearly scored, but was denied by the goalkeeper. Was booked for an attacking foul. Continued without much impact in the final stretch and was replaced by Wendell in the 17th minute.

Calleri – 5.0 – Did well as a target man early on, setting up Luciano, who nearly scored. But he did not manage much in the first half. Picked up a yellow card right at the start of the second half for a silly foul in attack. Made way for Tapia.

Wendell – 5.0 – Came on for Ferreirinha in the 17th minute of the second half. Did not stand out.

Tapia – No rating – Replaced Calleri in the 29th minute of the second half and did little.

Luan – No rating – Came on in the final minutes in place of Danielzinho.

Lucca – No rating – Came off the bench for Enzo Díaz near the end.

André Silva – No rating – Came on for Luciano late in the match.

Dorival Júnior – 5.0 – Marked his return to Tricolor and saw the team start very well, eventually finding the goal through Luciano. In the second half, he made his first change, doubling up at left-back with Wendell, and shortly after replaced the ineffective Calleri with Tapia. He then saw his gamble in defense, Dória, make another mistake and hand the equalizer to the opposition. He will have work to do to improve the team.
