The strategy employed by coach Ramón Díaz involved changing the team’s tactical formation once again, which proved very effective. With a four-man defense and a diamond midfield, the São Paulo team dominated the match, neutralizing Fortaleza and could have secured an even larger advantage.
On the other hand, the home team continues to struggle with poor results, going another match without performing the high-quality football that had them as contenders for both the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Sul-Americana titles. Additionally, the defeat ended their impressive run of 21 unbeaten matches at Castelão.
To qualify, Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s team needs to win by at least two goals in São Paulo to force a penalty shootout. Before the decisive match, both teams will focus on the Brazilian Championship: Corinthians will host Atlético Goianiense, a direct rival in the relegation battle, while Fortaleza will face Bahia at home.
