São Paulo x Náutico

On September 30, 2009 São Paulo played against Náutico. The game was very exciting. São Paulo had the obligation to win so he would still have chances to win the cup. The game was very hard. In the beginning of the match, Junior César committed a penalty. Fortunately, Bosco was able to defend the kick and avoid the goal. 10 minutes later, Bruno Mineiro scored a goal for Náutico. The game was 1x0, a horrible result for São Paulo. To make the situation worse, both Junior César and Richarlyson were given a red card. São Paulo had 9 players while Náutico had 11 players. Fortunately, in the beginning of the second half Hernanes scored a goal, making the game equal once again. To make the game even better for São Paulo, 2 players of Náutico also received the red card, so the teams now had an equal number of players. When the game seemed to end in 1x1, Hugo scored a beautiful goal at 43 minutes of the second half. The game was won.

Summing up 3 more points on the cup was a great result for São Paulo. I think São Paulo still has great chances to win the Brazilian cup. After winning this game, Palmeiras has the pressure to win against Santos. I think the victory was conquered because São Paulo did not quit. He seeked the goal until the end of the match.
