Dominant Start 🔥

São Paulo started with high intensity, took advantage of a sluggish Santos, and quickly went up 2-0 within 23 minutes. Ferreirinha opened the scoring after a cross from André Silva, and André Silva himself extended the lead with an assist from Matheus Alves. In the first half, Santos pulled one back. Leo Godoy headed the ball, which hit Enzo's hand in the area. Tiquinho converted the penalty. Santos pushed forward in the second half, and the game went back and forth. However, the pace dropped, with few dangerous chances.
