Sao Paulo Brazil
São Paulo massacres, cornered Grêmio in Porto Alegre.
He had 63% possession of the ball.
Seven shots on goal, against only one from the Rio Grande do Sul club.
Fernando Diniz had led his team, from the center to the front, to change the ball first, to disorient the strong union brand.
But it was enough for Renato Gaúcho to put Ferrerinha, fast, light forward, dribbler.
At 17 minutes into the second half, he left for Reinaldo, he passed it as he wanted and crossed, Volpi deflected, the ball was left by Diego Souza, who spun in the air and hit a surprising jerk towards the bottom of the goal.
Grêmio, unfairly, scored 1 to 0.
The goal changed the dynamics of the game, made São Paulo nervous and gave the Rio Grande do Sul team confidence.
The union team managed to secure the fundamental result, in the first game of the Copa do Brasil semifinal.
Now, Renato Gaúcho’s team only needs a draw, next Wednesday, in Morumbi, to make the decision.
Very important result.
“The 1-0 is a marker that can be reversed, we go with that mentality,” said Luciano irritated.
“Against São Paulo it has to be like that, it is a very well trained team. We fight all the time, because if it is less than that, we would not be successful. Souza.
São Paulo was very brave. He took the initiative of the game, tried to follow the path of Santos, who last week dispatched the gaucho team of the Libertadores, a week ago. Speed.
Grêmio has a serious marking problem in the middle when he encounters opponents who touch the ball well and impose a fast pace in the game.
This is how with Daniel Alves, Igor Gomes, Luciano, Sara and Brenner, Fernando Diniz’s team dominated the intermediaries. Grêmio responded with a lot of struggle, dedication and divided with great force. It was Renato assuming to have a less attractive cast, but trying to close the gaps.
The game was very hard, disputed, with very strong entries.
If the referee Marcelo de Lima Henrique was not so condescending and there would be expulsions.
Actual scoring chances were rare.
In the second half, however, São Paulo missed two excellent opportunities.
The first with Brenner, who failed to complete a beautiful table between Daniel Alves and Luciano. The second, with Luciano who, face to face with Vanderlei, gave a kick.
The punishment came on Diego Souza’s goal.
Renato tried to do everything possible to secure the advantage.
He caught Reinaldo, the relay from São Paulo.
And he also saw Ferreirinha and Pepê squander important counterattacks.
São Paulo continued to dominate the ball.
But colliding with the great Gremista brand.
At the last chance of the tie, Brenner headed in.
And Vanderlei extended it, in the 48th minute.
Grêmio had the most important result.
He regained his confidence.
And the São Paulo team knows it.
There are conditions to defeat Grêmio, in Morumbi.
The fight to reach the final of the Copa do Brasil is open …
