São Bernardo
São Bernardo responded well after conceding an early goal, showing composure and intent to get back into the match. Their 54% possession and six corners reflected a proactive approach, and they managed to carve out 11 shots, though only four were on target. The midfield duo of Dudu Miraíma and Foguinho provided stability, while Felipe Garcia led the line energetically and netted the crucial equalizer. Defensively, São Bernardo were organized after the initial setback, but struggled to turn their dominance into a winning goal. Their pressing and willingness to commit numbers forward at times left them open to counters, but they recovered well and limited Novorizontino’s clear chances.

Weaknesses
Novorizontino
Novorizontino started brightly, capitalizing on a fast start with Robson’s goal in the 6th minute. They remained compact in their 4-2-3-1 shape, ceding possession but looking dangerous in transition. Their attacking midfielders, particularly Rômulo and Tavinho, supported Robson well in the opening stages. However, after São Bernardo’s equalizer, Novorizontino struggled to regain their early momentum. Their attacking threat diminished, with only one corner and three shots on target from ten attempts. Defensively, they remained disciplined, picking up three yellow cards but avoiding any major lapses after the equalizer.

Tactical Analysis
Both teams lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, leading to a midfield battle that saw São Bernardo edge possession. The home side’s double pivot of Dudu Miraíma and Foguinho provided a solid base, allowing their attacking midfielders to push forward and support Felipe Garcia. São Bernardo utilized width effectively, winning six corners and stretching Novorizontino’s back line. Novorizontino’s early pressing paid off with an early goal, but as the match wore on, they dropped deeper, looking to strike on the counter. Their transitions were dangerous in the first half, but they struggled to sustain attacks after São Bernardo’s equalizer. Both sides made tactical substitutions to inject energy, but neither could shift the balance decisively.
Turning Point
Felipe Garcia’s equalizer in the 17th minute, which shifted momentum back to São Bernardo and set the tone for a balanced contest.
