📹 Olé, boos for Dorival as São Paulo hold off Corinthians crisis | OneFootball

This Saturday (19th), São Paulo defeated Corinthians 2-0 at MorumBIS in a match valid for the 15th round of Brasileirão 2025.

The truth is that Tricolor Paulista completely dominated the Majestic from the start. Timão hasn't won the classic since January 2023.

Despite being the coach who gave São Paulo its only Copa do Brasil title, the Tricolor fans did not forgive Dorival Júnior's departure for the Brazilian National Team. Especially now that he is leading the great rival.

With the ball rolling, the São Paulo fans present at MorumBIS were shocked by Oscar's ugly fall on the pitch. The midfielder was even substituted 15 minutes into the game.

But the first half was really about Luciano, who loves scoring against his former team and had a "Messi-like night" in another Majestic.

At 30 minutes, the forward received the ball in the area and shot across to beat Hugo Souza and open the scoring for São Paulo.

Three minutes later, Wendell shot across, and Luciano slid in at the edge of the small area to extend the lead.

After the break, São Paulo slowed down but remained dominant on the field.

So much so that before 20 minutes into the second half, the Tricolor fans at MorumBIS were already chanting "olé" with each pass exchange.

🧐 And at Corinthians?

Well, unfortunately for Timão fans, the only records about the team in the Majestic are not about the ball and field.

This is because Depay and José Martínez were substituted at halftime of the Majestic and didn't even return to the bench, preferring to stay in the locker room.

🚦 What's next

With the victory, São Paulo, which had come from four defeats and a draw, won for the first time under coach Hernan Crespo and moved away from the relegation zone, climbing to 13th place with 16 points.

Meanwhile, Corinthians, which had its five-game winless streak broken with a victory over Ceará in the last round, remained with 19 points in tenth place.

Timão returns to the field next Wednesday (23rd), when they host Cruzeiro at the Neo Química Arena for the 16th round. Meanwhile, Tricolor Paulista visits Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi on Thursday (24th).
