Dominance without clarity

Sao Paulo had the ball, but not the match. With 77% possession, they only managed 4 shots on target, the same as their opponent. The difference was clear: Chapecoense-sc was more effective in the box.

The goal came in the 26th minute when Bruno Pacheco scored after an assist from Giovanni Augusto. A blow that left Sao Paulo without a response.

A match of unequal numbers

The visitors shot 20 times, but only 4 were on target. Chapecoense-sc, with less possession, showed efficiency in their attacks, totaling 13 shots.

Anderson, although he did not score, was the most destabilizing player of the match, earning a rating of 8. His ability to create danger was key to keeping Sao Paulo on the defensive.

An upset in the standings

With this victory, Chapecoense-sc moves away from the relegation zone, currently sitting in 20th place with 11 points. Sao Paulo, on the other hand, remains in 13th place with 27 points, in a troubling negative streak.

The match also left the visitors without a clean sheet, something they failed to achieve despite their possession dominance.

Conclusions from the match

Chapecoense-sc's victory represents a breath of fresh air in their fight for survival. Despite the lack of clarity in play, they managed to secure three points.

Sao Paulo, on the other hand, urgently needs to adjust their offensive strategy if they wish to break free from the negative streak that haunts them.
