Tricolor was eliminated by Água Santa in the Paulista Championship in the quarterfinals
In addition to the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Paulista Championship, São Paulo closed a sequence that had been maintained since 2018. Losing on penalties, after the failures of Alisson and Jhegson Méndez, the Tricolore closed the almost five-year cycle without missing a decision on sanctions.
According to historian Alexandre Giesbrecht’s information, from the Notas Tricolores page, this was the 25th time in the club’s entire history that the team lost in a penalty shootout.
The last time something like this happened was against Colón, for the 2018 Copa Sudamericana. At the time, the match was valid for the second round of the continental and canceled the Tricolore’s chances of qualifying for the round of 16.
With the result against Água Santa, there are 42 wins on penalties and 25 defeats. If only the elimination games are counted, there are 23 wins and thirteen bad results.
Now, with the negative result, San Paolo will have more than a month ‘free’ and without games. San Paolo should only return to play on April 15, when he will make his debut for the Brazilian championship against Botafogo.
