São Paulo thrash Cruzeiro with Ferreira hat-trick 📹 São Paulo bounced back in style after three games without a win. Playing at MorumBIS, Tricolor halted Cruzeiro’s momentum with a 4-1 victory on Saturday night (4). The match was valid for the 10th round of the Brasileirão.

And Ferreirinha was the standout performer in front of 36,650 fans. The No. 11 was given a rare chance in the starting lineup and was the main star of the show.

SPFC takes control Cruzeiro’s greater possession in the first half proved ineffective. Arthur Jorge’s team only seriously threatened minutes before halftime — and saw Kaio Jorge waste a good chance. São Paulo, meanwhile, was efficient.

And Roger Machado’s gamble on Artur and Ferreira together proved to be the right call. The former won the penalty that Calleri converted to open the scoring (12'). Then he set up Ferreirinha, who doubled the lead (16').
