The Match

São Paulo practically started the game already ahead on the scoreboard.

The first dangerous move by the Tricolor happened in the first minute of the match, with Rodriguinho seeing his shot cleared by a defender almost on the goal line.

This play resulted in a corner, and from the kick, André Silva appeared at the far post to head into the net and open the scoring.

From there, São Paulo began to control the match, suffering little in defense.

Atlético Nacional had their best moment on the field between the 15th and 20th minutes of the second half.

And the Colombian team took advantage to equalize the score with a penalty kick.

After missing two penalties in the first leg, Cardona left the responsibility this time to Morelos.

The number 9 of Atlético Nacional struck well and leveled the score.

However, during the goal celebration, Cardona got involved in a scuffle with Ferraresi and both received yellow cards.

Since the Atlético Nacional player had already been booked, he was sent off.

Even with one more player on the field for about 25 minutes, São Paulo couldn't score the second goal, and the decision went to penalties.
