00:00They eliminated Bolívar with a 3-1 victory, having drawn the first leg 1-1 in Bolivia.
00:06over at Atitude,
00:07They came to settle things at home and now they'll face Boca Juniors in the quarterfinals.
00:14One of the most difficult matches in this Copa Sudamericana group.
00:18The first leg will be at La Bombonera in September, the date is yet to be determined, and the return leg will be here.
00:24at Morumbi.
00:25But we'll talk about that Boca Juniors game later.
00:28Let's talk about São Paulo and Bolívar.
00:30São Paulo took to the field with the fans already as the 12th player; the party started on the other side.
00:36outside at Morumbi,
00:37Right at the bus reception, there were some really cool pictures there, really cool, in the case of Luciano receiving the
00:43fans,
00:44More than 46,000 fans were present, cheering from beginning to end.
00:49São Paulo, with a completely different approach, Dorival has already surprised with his starting lineup.
00:55He bet everything on reinforcements, so we saw a team there with Aurelio Buta as a starter,
01:00With Domingos Duarte, who has been doing very well, and Newton, players who are starting to get playing time.
01:06And they played a very consistent game, I think especially on the defensive side.
01:11with Domingos, with Iago, who had already done very well in the first leg.
01:15São Paulo opened the scoring with Luciano, the number 10, who knows how to show up when he needs to.
01:22He saw the crowd erupt in cheers for him, but with a little sushi in the second half.
01:28São Paulo returns for the second half still dealing with the issue of conceding goals.
01:33He couldn't hold onto the result, so he got scared and stood there worried.
01:38Are you sure the whole crowd was thinking, "Oh my God, again? Same script, same thing happening?"
01:42But São Paulo showed something very important that hadn't been seen in recent games.
01:47which is a quick reaction ability, so a team that takes the draw in a very similar scenario to the last ones.
01:53games,
01:54But he manages to react, to see that penalty in the scene, a play that was very well thought out,
01:59Kaleri takes responsibility, calmly shoots, and puts São Paulo ahead on the scoreboard.
02:04And in a corner kick play, Sabino the defender appears, and manages to head the ball in.
02:09And, in fact, it pushes São Paulo forward, practically guaranteeing the Tricolor's qualification.
02:15At that moment, São Paulo managed to hold onto the result.
02:18As I said, it was an issue that hadn't been seen in recent games.
02:22But the script changed, Dorival showed some changes there.
02:25We were able to see greater control of the match during the game.
02:30and a different attitude on the field.
02:34However, for the turning point to truly happen, something that Dorival himself highlighted is necessary.
02:38In the press conference, there's a game against Coritiba.
02:41Before thinking about Boca Juniors later on, let's focus now on the Brazilian Championship.
02:45to truly end this drought and breathe easy again in the national competition as well.
02:50Dorival emphasized that this match is very important.
02:52This reaction needs to happen in the Brasileirão as well, in the points-based system.
02:56And now, let's see!
