Dorival Júnior's team didn't let the visitors breathe, and in the 17th minute São Paulo expanded. Once again, Artur appeared to dribble his marking and shoot low to Calleri, but defender Acosta appeared to cut it and play against his own goal, 2-0.

This was the 11 thousandth goal in the history of Tricolor Paulista.

With a 2-0 lead on the scoreboard, São Paulo slowed down in the second half.
