São Paulo clinched a 2-0 victory against O’Higgins at the MorumBIS stadium on Tuesday, their second match in the 2026 Conmebol Sudamericana. Despite the win, the team faced criticism from their supporters.
The home team took an early lead, with Calleri assisting Luciano to score within the first ten minutes. However, O’Higgins posed a significant threat, creating several opportunities to equalize, only to be denied by an exceptional performance from goalkeeper Rafael. The pressure mounted to the extent that São Paulo’s players were met with jeers from their own fans as they left for halftime.
The second half saw São Paulo quickly double their lead. Calleri again played a crucial role, setting up Artur to extend the Tricolor’s advantage. O’Higgins continued to push forward, missing a clear chance through Castillo and having a goal disallowed due to a foul on Rafael Tolói, but they were unable to reduce the deficit.
