This Wednesday (Game 3), in the 37th round of Brasilia, Sao Paulo defeated Internazionale 3-0 at Villabermiro.
After the disastrous defeat to Fluminense in the last round, Paulista Tricolor needed to respond to the fans and did not give the Rio Grande do Sul team any chance.

São Paulo controlled the game from the start, with Luciano having two good chances but both headers going wide.
However, defender Sabino took advantage of a cross into the penalty area and opened the scoring for Paulista Tricolor unmarked.
Colorado had its best chance when Bernabe managed to dribble past goalkeeper Rafael, but Mack cleared it.
The young right-back continued the attack and extended the lead in stoppage time with a shot from outside the penalty area.
Just two minutes after the break, Marcos Antonio provided a fine assist and Luciano finished well inside the six-yard box, past Lochte, for the third goal.
After sealing the victory, Sao Paulo slowed down the pace and Inter Milan created some dangers, but the score did not change.

Tricolor fans even taunted Colorado supporters by displaying the shirts of their old rivals Gremio as they chanted “olé” in the final minutes.
🚦 What to do now
With this win, São Paulo remain in eighth place with 51 points, still dreaming of a possible spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores if Cruzeiro or Fluminense win the Copa do Brasil.
The Internacional team fell to 18th place with 41 points and no longer relied on themselves to avoid relegation to Serie B.
In the final round of matches next Sunday (7th), Tricolor Paulista will travel to Vitoria (17th place) in Barradan, while Colorado will face RB Bragantino (9th place).
