The São Paulo team struggled to create chances throughout the game, with six attackers on the field and little creativity. Despite improving in the second half, the team continued to make mistakes, including a crucial error that led to Leandro Lozano's opening goal.

The disallowed goal of Ryan was a close call, leaving room for complaint as the Sul-Americana still does not have semi-automatic offside decisions. However, the disqualification cannot be placed on the referees.

The draw means little in practice, and the São Paulo team now faces the threat of the Z4 in the Brasileiro.
