Giovanni Simeone scores twice — 8.84
Two goals and a mark of 8.84 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

São Paulo are in among the leaders
Position 3 and 49 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Yago Noal puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at São Paulo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Nobody wants to play São Paulo right now

Tempers go at São Paulo
Eduardo Darias was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Samuel Neves wants to come home
“I did not go to Académica to sit and watch. I want to come back to São Paulo and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 30 matches say the rest.
Match1 Sep 2029
São Paulo get the job done against Vitória
A 2‑0 win over Vitória, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
