São Paulo FC ends winless streak amid performance decline

São Paulo FC recently secured a 2-1 victory over Red Bull Bragantino, ending a ten-match winless streak in the Brasileirão. While the win provides temporary relief, the club's overall campaign shows a stark contrast between its historic start and recent struggles.

Under previous management, the team achieved an 88.9% success rate in the first six rounds, earning 16 out of 18 possible points. However, performance declined sharply following the departure of Hernán Crespo, with the team earning only 11 points in the subsequent 17 matches.

Coach Dorival Júnior is currently experiencing his lowest performance rate since 2014. Since returning to the club in May, he has maintained a 38.9% success rate across 12 matches, averaging 1.17 points per game. This figure is comparable to his tenure at Palmeiras in 2014.
