San Paolo has only succeeded once a year that guarantees a place in Libertadores

Tricolor will have to win for three goals to advance straight, but in 2025 he shows few victories with an elastic score

He defeated the 2-0 at the Casa Blanca Stadium in Quito, Sao Paulo arrives at the return game of the quarterfinals of Libertadores in a delicate situation. To advance directly to the semifinal, Hernán Crespo’s team must beat Ldu with at least three differences in goals next Thursday (25/9), at 19 hours, in Morumbis. If returned the two goals granted, the vacant place will be decided in the penalty.

However, the mission is not simple. After all, in 53 games played in the season, Tricolor has only one victory with three or more goals. This happened on February 5, still under the command of Luis Zubeldía, beat Missol 4-1 for the Paulist championship.

On the other hand, on eight occasions, Sao Paulo won with two differences in goals, which would bring the decision to the penalty. Among these triumphs there are classics against the Corinthians (3-1 in Paulistan and 2-0 in Brazilirão) and the victories on Fluminense, Vitória and Atlético-Mg, all in Morumbis, already with curly in office.

Despite the challenge, the fan can cling to a 2020 result. After all, Sao Paulo beat LDU 3-0 to Morumbis from the group’s group stage. That night Reinaldo, Daniel Alves and Igor Gomes scored goals.

However, the campaign ended bitterly: Fernando Diniz’s team fell into the group stage, while Ldu and River Plate advanced.

The next commitment of San Paolo

Before the “decision” in the continental tournament, San Paolo faces Santos, this Sunday (21/09), at 20:30, in Vila Belmiro, for the 24th round of Brazilirão.

Those who move between San Paolo and Ldu will face Palmeiras or Plate River in the Libertadores semifinal.
