The match also marked the return of attacking midfielder Lucas, who had recovered from surgery to repair an Achilles tendon injury in his right leg. He came on in the 13th minute of the second half, after just over five months out, and played a crucial role in the Tricolor's second goal on Saturday.
With his two goals on the night, striker Calleri took his tally to 10 in the Brasileirão and 16 for the season, becoming São Paulo's outright leading scorer this year, ahead of Luciano.
The Tricolor started the match looking to open the scoring in the first few minutes. With their first chance, Artur went for goal from a free kick, but the opposing goalkeeper made the save. In the eighth minute, Calleri received a cross inside the box and laid it off for Gustavo Santana to hit first time, only for the goalkeeper to deny him again.
In the 19th minute, Artur played the ball to Iago, who delivered a pinpoint cross for Calleri. The number 9 headed into the back of the net to put São Paulo 1–0 ahead.
In the 38th minute, Martínez scored for the visitors, leaving the score at 1–1 at halftime.
In the second half, São Paulo continued looking for ways to regain the lead. In the 19th minute, Artur once again advanced down the left, cut inside and delivered an inswinging cross. The ball flew across the box, and Calleri lunged to reach it but narrowly missed making contact.
In the 24th minute, after a fine move involving Lucas and Bobadilla, Gustavo Santana shot and the goalkeeper parried it. Calleri pounced on the rebound and slotted it into the back of the net, putting São Paulo ahead again at 2–1, which remained the final score.
São Paulo's next match will be against Vasco next Saturday (17), at 9 p.m., at MorumBIS in São Paulo, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship.
