⚽ The match
São Paulo’s first goal was scored by Luciano, who converted the penalty awarded after he was brought down by Pedro Henrique inside the box.
Referee Anderson Daronco had to check the VAR monitor before awarding the spot-kick.
Unlike what had happened for much of São Paulo’s winless run, Dorival Júnior’s men managed to extend their lead still in the first half.
In stoppage time, 20-year-old Gustavo Santana, making his professional debut, showed good positioning in the box to take advantage of a mistake by the Massa Bruta defense.
After the break, São Paulo remained the hungrier side on the pitch, but could not add to the score.
