Part 3/6:
Despite Mirassol’s brief resurgence, São Paulo regained control in the later stages of the game, scoring three consecutive goals to secure the decisive victory. Analysts pointed out that while the offense was impressive, the defensive lapses—such as allowing Gabriel from Mirassol to score without adequate marking—indicate ongoing challenges that need addressing by the coaching staff.
Tactical Challenges Ahead
Moving forward, the coaching staff, led by Zubeldia, faces the critical challenge of refining the team’s defensive organization, especially without possession. Observers noted that when opponents penetrate the first line of defense, São Paulo struggles to maintain an organized backline, resulting in unwanted gaps and opportunities for the opposition.
