Part 4/6:
On the other side, São Paulo exhibited more control during the second half. The ‘B’ team made a notable impression, particularly in light of Oscar and Enzo's debuts. The adjustments made by coach Zubeldía, including a shift in strategy and lineup, aimed to maximize their prospects against a resilient Cruzeiro squad.
