With a marathon of travel ahead in the coming days and a classic against Corinthians ahead, Dorival Júnior opted to send a mixed team to São Paulo to play on the field against Fortaleza. Faced with a strong opponent, the bet is a draw. And, playing the way they did, Tricolor from São Paulo achieved their objective, leaving Castelão tied 0-0 in the duel valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship, on Thursday night (11). It was the second draw in five games for Tricolor in the main national competition. The result maintained the incredible unbeaten record that Dorival had on his return to the Morumbi club, after six matches.

That's far. In a great tactical duel between Dorival and Juan Vojvoda, the teams were different in the way they played on the field and the good scoring chances they created. The scenario was defined in the second semester. The first Brítez was sent off for a second yellow card when Leão da Pici appeared better on the field. Given the numerical advantage on the field, Tricolor from São Paulo created a chance, but received a shower of cold water: Nestor also ended up taking a shower earlier in the same situation. There's no way around it, it's better to close the area and guarantee points won away from home. São Paulo lost seven points and finished in seventh place in the Brasileirão. Fortaleza, with eight, came first, sixth. PROMISE OF A BETTER GAME… The game started with a bang at Castelão. In an offensive 4-3-3, with a high line, São Paulo surprised Fortaleza in the first minute, dominating ball possession and creating good chances in attack. The best of them was at 3', when Marcos Paulo recovered the ball at the edge of the area (mark to leave the game), ran through the marking and took a dangerous risk. SPONSOR'S RESPONSE São Paulo's joy, however, was short-lived. In the next game, still on the counterattack, Yago Pikachu ran unmarked into the middle and risked a left shot at the edge of the area, but the ball went to the right. Only then did Fortaleza half realize Dorival Júnior's intentions. Vojvoda restricted attacking options down the flanks and opened up the two midfielders to reinforce the opening left by the visiting full-backs. At 9’, the fit is perfect. Pikachu, always himself, took advantage this time on the right and passed to Guilherme, who held the ball and hit Rafael's post. JOY IN THE LAST SHORT The initial intensity was gradually replaced by greater caution from both coaches, unwilling to offer their defenses space for the opponent to exploit. Dorival, on the São Paulo side, transferred Alisson to the position of second midfielder, leaving Nestor freer in the frame and moving Marcos Paulo to the left wing. Vojvoda, from Ceará, dropped the midfielder back to close the line of five defenders and created a 5-3-2-1 formation. It's worth nothing. As time went by, creativity was lacking and little by little more 'firm' performances from the defenses emerged. That's what happened in the 20th minute, when Romero was unable to recover and the ball fell to Calleri at the edge of the area in excellent condition, but Brítez put the Argentine on the ground. The movement shows the difficulty of both sides in breaking lines, looking for decisive passes to beat defenders, well positioned on both sides, both ready to bet on the rhythms of names like Rato and Pikachu. Even so, there was still time for the second to almost open the scoring for the home team, in the 49th minute, when he came at speed, invaded the area and finished dangerously wide. + Check out the games and results of the Brasileirão-23 classification in the LANCE table! IT'S ALL OR NOTHING The second half started in the opposite direction. It was Fortaleza who entered the field with a different format, finding space in the São Paulo defense. At 1', Pikachu gets a free kick at the second post, Romero hits it and Caio Alexandre finishes, forcing the defense to deflect. Taking a corner, Brítez managed to win an aerial challenge and almost saw Romero free, unmarked, who still managed to deflect the ball after being stretched. Fortaleza seems to have found its way. And despite the difficulties in attack, they continue to create good chances. For example, at 16', when Calebe, who had entered earlier, received the ball in the middle, he took a risk and gave Rafael a good look. A SOUR... Things seem to be going for the Tricolor de Aço. São Paulo is on the ropes, as they say, content with the goalless draw and almost making no progress. But a masterstroke overturned everything. At 17', Brítez committed a silly foul on Calleri in midfield and was sent off. This is the impulse that the people of São Paulo want. At 21', Luciano, another player who came on in the second half, took advantage of the ball left by the home defense and risked a good finish, demanding a good save from the goalkeeper. Three minutes later, Nestor took a risk and saw the ball pass close to the goal. SOUR (2)... Repeat the words. It looks like they are going to Tricolor do Morumbi. Strong on the ropes, as they say, the offensive system was sacrificed to rebuild the defense. But... at 25', Nestor finally recovered from a previous expulsion and received a second yellow card after a foul. With the same players on the field again, the game followed its trend: São Paulo was satisfied with the draw, closed and with little offensive inspiration against Fortaleza who still did a lot, but needed quality to reach the net. He has the right to emotions in every sense. Gabriel Neves saved Thiago Galhardo's shot in the 38th minute. Pikachu kicked dangerously the next minute. And then, in the 44th minute, Rafael saved what looked like an own goal from Diego Costa. The visitors came out ahead in the draw. UPCOMING GAMES In the next round of the Brasileirão, São Paulo will play nothing less than a classic against Corinthians, in Itaquera, at 4pm (Brasília time) on Sunday (14). On the same day and time, Fortaleza will play another ‘tricolor classic’, against Grêmio, in Porto Alegre (RS).
