OR Saint Paul He tried, but it was deleted! This Wednesday, the tricolor team received the Lanús for the return leg of the second round of the South American Cup and won 4 to 3, with three goals coming after 40 in the 2nd half, and was eliminated by the away goal – on the road, Lanús won 3 to 2, in Argentina.
Needing the result, Tricolor started well, but came out thanks to a great goal from Pedro De La Vega. The home team drew with Dani Alves, but in the final stretch of the first stage Aguirre put the visitors ahead. In the second half, Pablo equalized, São Paulo finished, hit the post and was rewarded in extra time with a goal against Thaller and another for Gabriel Sara to achieve the heroic return. When everything seemed on track, Orisini killed tricolor hopes and secured the Argentine classification.
The game started very busy, with Lanús without kicks for the advantage and leaving the game open. São Paulo was about to open the scoring from the beginning when Reinaldo took it from the left, hit a cross and the ball went through the entire area, with Brenner struggling, but unable to touch the ball.
Then came the punishment. Tchê Tchê was wrong again, the revelation Pedro De La Vega dominated in the middle, he straightened up and threw a bomb. The ball had a lot of effect and killed Thiago Volpi: 1 to 0 Lanús.
The tricolor answer came in a dead ball. Reinaldo took a corner kick for the area, the ball was deflected to the near post and offered to Dani Alves, free in the small area, headed to the back of the goal and replaced São Paulo in the match: 1 to 1.
After the goal, the hosts continued to work on the ball, but little. At 36 minutes, a miracle from Volpi after a Burdisso header in the small area saved the Tricolor, but it was not enough.
Almost in extra time, a blow and a rebound made the ball pass to Di Plácido on the right, the center-back perfectly for Aguirre, completely free in the penalty area, to touch the bottom of the goal and send the Argentines in advantage for the break.
For the second part, Fernando Diniz went for everything or nothing. He removed defender Diego Costa and overtook Pablo, and the change took effect. São Paulo became much more offensive and began to put too much pressure on the Argentines.
Right at the start of the second stage, Tchê Tchê put the ball in the measure for Luciano and the forward, only in the small area, he headed to the ground, the ball bounced and went too high, passing over the goal.
In the sequence, Gabriel Sara committed a category foul, from far away, and the ball exploded off Morales’ post. On the rebound, Pablo headed up. Minutes later, Daniel Alves left Brenner face to face and the forward crossed the ball.
In Dani Alves’ second perfect ball, Pablo did not waste and hit a cross, in the corner of Morales, to tie.
Needing a goal to lead to penalties, São Paulo kept hammering. At 26 minutes, Brenner had a golden opportunity and, completely free in the small area, finished.
With five minutes remaining, Gabriel Sara had another opportunity, subdued from within the area and stopped in great defense by Morales. When all seemed lost, the miracle arrived.
First, Gabriel Sara crossed into the area and Thaller played against his own goal to put São Paulo in front: 3 to 2, which led the game to penalties. At 45 minutes, Daniel Alves gave another assist and Gabriel Sara appeared to be the scorer hero who made his way to the back of the net and appeared to qualify São Paulo.
But, as a crazy game deserved a crazy ending, Lanús started qualifying 48 minutes into the second stage when Orisini completed a cross from the left, reduced it to 4 to 3 and qualified the Argentines for the away goal.
