Now, in the next phase, the Morumbi team will face a Brazilian confrontation with Ceará.
Even with the good advantage obtained last week, after a 4-2 victory away from home, Rogério Ceni’s team looked for the goal from the beginning, and opened the scoring in the 11th minute, when Patrick crossed low for Luciano to hit the first . The second came just before the break, in a penalty kick by Eder.

With the good advantage, São Paulo started to replace some pieces to save them for the continuation of the season. However, the Morumbi team continued to improve and increased the score with goals from the boys João Moreira and Rodriguinho. In the end, Católica scored the goal of honor with the side Fuenzalida.
Now, Tricolor focuses on the Brazilian, where it takes on Atlético-MG on Sunday (10) at Mineirão.
