With the result, Tricolor from São Paulo needs a 1-0 win in Morumbi, next Wednesday (4), to advance to the round of 16. There is the criterion of a goal away from home as a draw in continental competition.
Who got it right: Brenner
The forward was the most lucid player in São Paulo’s offensive sector. With good positioning and quality in the presentations, he opened the scoring in the first stage after a great play by Luciano and Tchê Tchê on the right wing of the attack. In the 79th minute, the striker received a perfect cross from Reinaldo and launched the opposing net again. The referees, however, signaled the athlete’s irregular position with a very dubious movement. In the final minutes, he took advantage of it at the entrance of the area and left his mark. With the goals scored, he reached the mark of 13 goals in 2020. Since regaining title status, the athlete has scored ten goals in seven games played.
Who was wrong: Daniel Alves
He went up again to get the ball from São Paulo, the 10 shirt did not look so good. He even hit a ball on Morales’ crossbar in the second half of the game, but had a hard time creating plays in midfield. It should be noted that the pair of midfielders at his side, Igor Gomes and Gabriel Sara, did not play at the La Fortaleza Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Luciano hooks sequence after physical problem and assists
Luciano was re-elected as the starter for São Paulo after his physical problem last week. And the player returned to having a convincing performance. On a good play in the first half, he received from Tchê Tchê and played for Brenner to fill the opposing net. In the final stage, he prevented Orozco from scoring on a corner kick. Saved the movement on the line. The forward pivoted for Brenner’s second goal in the final minutes.
The performance of São Paulo
It was difficult for São Paulo to maintain possession of the ball and create plays in their midfield, with Daniel Alves, Igor Gomes and Gabriel Sara. The trio was well marked and could contribute little to the visitor. Without the active participation of the trio, Fernando Diniz’s team opted for plays on the sides of the field, using the outputs of Tchê Tchê on the right and Reinaldo on the left. The duo was the one who sought the most opportunities for the team. In fact, it was in an outing with the right wing that the São Paulo Tricolor opened the scoring in the first half.
Lanús performance
With the game based on Lucas Vera and Pedro De La Vega, Lanús dominated the game from the first half. The Argentine team created good opportunities, but stopped in the lack of aim of the men facing in some. Sand wasted a good opportunity in the early stages. Pedro De La Vega himself also made a mistake when concluding a play in the first stage. In the background of the break, the team took advantage of a hesitation in the São Paulo defense to balance Volpi’s net.
Game timeline
Brenner threw the net in the 13th minute of the opening game. Received from Luciano to score. In the second half, at 53 minutes, Sand made his mark. Di Plácido crossed, the ball deflected at Daniel Alves and Sand stayed in the small area to score. In the 79th minute, the referee signaled offside on a Brennero goal. The offer was very doubtful and led to a complaint from São Paulo. José Sand turned the score around in the 84th minute. Brenner left everything the same at 87, and Quignón once again put the Argentines in advantage at the end, in the 91st.
