Calleri scores twice in São Paulo’s thrashing of Santos

São Paulo was not aware of Santos and won the classic San-São, by 4 to 1, this Sunday (16), at Morumbi, in a game of the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Tricolor Paulista’s goals were scored twice by Calleri, David and Alexandre Pato. Marcos Leonardo cashed, from the penalty spot, for Peixe.

With the thrashing in the classic, São Paulo reached 25 points and entered the fight for the G4 for good. Santos, on the other hand, parked at 16 points and remains in the second half of the table.

Tricolor Paulista returns to the field against Cuiabá, away from home, on Saturday (22), at 6:30 pm (from Brasilia). Peixe receives the leader Botafogo, on Sunday (23), at 4 pm, in Vila Belmiro.

The game

Playing at home, Tricolor Paulista started at the beginning of the first half, but found it difficult to find spaces in the Santos defense. The first capital bid came out only in the 21st minute.

After a free kick, Calleri was knocked down by Joaquim in the area, and the referee awarded a penalty. In the penalty kick, the Argentine himself opened the scoring for São Paulo.

The second of Tricolor Paulista almost at the end of the initial stage. At 45 minutes, Alisson crossed with precision, for Calleri to push, with his head, to the bottom of the Santos goal.

São Paulo’s dominance in the first half was repeated in the final stage, but the score remained unchanged until the final minutes of the match. At 34 minutes, Nestor received from Juan and crossed for David to complete for the net.

And there was still time for another Tricolor party. In the 42nd minute, Alexandre Pato made a good individual move, countered David and touched João Paulo as he left, to score his first goal in his return to São Paulo.

Santos still managed to discount, at 47 of the second half, with Marcos Leonardo, from penalty.
