São Paulo beat Atlético-GO 3-0 in Morumbi, tonight (7), ending a quick seven-game winless and gave Fernando Diniz a life as a coach. The triumph on the 14th day of the 2020 Brazilian Championship featured two goals from Brenner and one from Gabriel Sara.
With the result, the Tricolor Paulista reaches 23 points won and, at least, maintains the difference of seven points for the leader Atlético-MG – who plays today against Fortaleza. Atlético-GO has 14 points in the standings and is in 14th position. Morumbi’s team returns to the court to face Palmeiras on Saturday at Allianz Parque. The Dragon will play Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday.
Who got it right: Brenner
Brenner was unable to submit as a forward in the first half. However, he evolved during the game and was fundamental for São Paulo in today’s game. With good movement, he returned to the offensive midfield to create dangerous chances and appeared as a finisher in the penalty area. He left his mark in the first half on Kozlinski’s rebound and, in the final stage, he received a low cross from Gabriel Sara to put the net.
Who was wrong: Vitor Bueno
Escalated as second striker, acting even behind Brenner, Vitor Bueno did not make a convincing game at Morumbi. The attacker was unable to create plays or endanger the opponent’s goal. Stuck in the markup, he wasn’t used to the new feature. He usually acts open on the left side of the attack.
Gabriel Sara actively participates in the three goals
Gabriel Sara played a decisive role in São Paulo’s victory over Atlético-GO tonight in Morumbi. The young midfielder crossed the ball that culminated in Brenner’s first goal, still in the first half, left his mark and was also instrumental in helping Brenner score the third for the São Paulo team.
São Paulo begins to fail, but improves during the match
Even with Brenner’s goal in the first half, São Paulo struggled to complete plays before the break. Gabriel Sara, Igor Gomes, Vitor Bueno and Brenner himself (more than once) wasted clear scoring chances. Tricolor Paulista created opportunities for crosses from above and counter moves. The creative sector stood out with Reinaldo on the left side of the attack. In the second half of the game, Gabriel Sara began to have more freedom on the field and was essential to increase the result. The youngster scored a goal and left Brenner able to score the home team’s third.
Under pressure, Fernando Diniz maintains a restless profile in the bank
Despite pressure from the fans and even the board on his work, Fernando Diniz kept his profile off the pitch tonight. Restless, the technician guided his men in the technical area, got angry in some maneuvers and did not stop for a second. The profile adopted in the space, as usual, draws the attention of those who watch the games directly from Morumbi. He celebrated the goals scored by his team.
VAR saves the referee due to São Paulo penalty error
Andrade’s Dyorgines Jose Padovani scored the Eder penalty in the second half of the match. On that occasion, Brenner took advantage of Daniel Alves’ corner and headed firmly. The ball deflected into the defender’s chest and the referee saw a deflection in his hand. After registering the penalty, the referee was called by Daniel Nobre Bins to review the play. That was enough to change the decision on the field.
