São Paulo and Grêmio were 0-0 today (17) at the Estádio do Morumbi, in a match valid for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. The result halted the winning streak that São Paulo led – it won the last two games – and also continued a taboo of (now) nine games without winning Grêmio. Since September 2015 there have been nine clashes between the two tricolor, four of which were union victories and five were draws.
The result will not remove São Paulo from the G4. That’s because, before, Fluminense drew at home with Ceará and parked 26 points. The tricolor of São Paulo, fourth place, has 27 points, tied with Santos. Grêmio has already moved up one position in the table. Now he is tenth with 21 points.
The next commitment of both teams will be for the Copa Libertadores. Already eliminated in the competition, São Paulo will face Binacional on Tuesday (20) to try to stay in third place in group D and secure a place in the Copa Sudamericana. On Thursday (22), Grêmio will host América de Cali to try to maintain the leadership of group E.
Reinaldo: tireless
The left-back of São Paulo was the player who created the most chances in the game. At the beginning of the game, he left Orejuela on the ground after a dribble. He made at least four crosses that were not well used by the attackers.
Daniel Alves: returned to one side, but without the same brightness
Replacing Igor Vinicius, Daniel Alves returned to the right wing for the first time in 2020. In the position that he established in Europe and with the Brazilian team, the 10 jersey did not offer danger, he received a yellow card for the foul on Luiz Fernando and isolated a free throw. Missing at the entrance to the zone already close to the entrance to the zone.
Balanced first half
São Paulo started the game better, putting a lot of pressure on the unionists. At 15 minutes, Fernando Diniz’s team already had 85% possession of the ball. Gradually, Grêmio grew and made the game more balanced, but neither team went into halftime with a real chance of scoring.
Second time trapped
The technical level dropped a lot in the second leg of the game, with the two teams competing for the ball with intensity in the midfield, but rarely reaching the attack. Fernando Diniz put more men in front to try to open the scoring, but, in the best opportunity he had, Daniel Alves isolated the free kick in the area.
