Everton Y Sao Paulo tied 0-0 this Thursday in a match from the fourth day of group D of the South American Cupin which scoring chances were conspicuous by their absence although the locals tried harder but fell victim to their shortcomings in attack.
The tricolor from São Paulo jumped onto the grass of the Sausalito stadium with the peace of mind that the points advantage over his followers gave him and with the idea that everything that was added was one more step in the fight for first place.
Without some of their stars, whom coach Rogerio Ceni left in Brazil with his sights set on the Brasileirao, the tricolores barely hovered around the area of the roulette players, who put more heart than head.
They struck down the flank, moved the ball in the center of the field but only a couple of direct transitions left some concern in the frame defended by Jandrei, who did not need much fanfare to keep the goal clean.
In this dynamic, with the blue and gold slightly superior, came the controversy of the game: Miranda fell in a struggle and already on the ground the ball hit him in the arm, resting on the grass.
The Everton players launched themselves against Fernando Rapallini, the Argentine referee of the match, but he understood that there was no will and ordered the game to continue.
With this result, Sao Paulo remains in first position with 10 points, five more than Everton, which is second, and serves it with just one point in the remaining two games to ensure a classification that it has in hand.
