The game
In the Brasileirão fixture against Atlético Mineiro, however, things did not go São Paulo’s way. Hulk scored from a beautiful free kick to give the lead to the visitors in just four minutes. Pavón, from the penalty spot, gave the final score of 0-2 in favor of Atlético.
At least the fans were able to see Lucas going back to the field for the first time. He played the whole second half and showed promise, specially in dribbling and creating plays, but was also responsible for making the penalty foul in Patrick.
