São Paulo FC defeated Atlético-MG 2-0 at the Morumbis stadium during the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Both goals were scored in the second half by Luciano and Iago. 

Luciano’s goal marked a historic milestone, as he became the 14th all-time top scorer for São Paulo, surpassing Careca. The victory moved São Paulo up to tenth place in the standings with 33 points, marking their second consecutive wins in the championship and increasing their distance from the relegation zone. Atlético-MG remains in eighth place with 36 points, and the defeat ended the team’s 14-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.

During the match, play was temporarily halted due to a disturbance in the visiting sector where Atlético-MG supporters used flares, creating dense smoke. The incident resulted in eleven fans being detained by the Military Police and four people, including one officer, being injured. 

Following the match, coach Dorival Júnior noted that his use of a three-center-back tactical scheme provides more stability to the team. São Paulo will now shift focus to their Copa Sudamericana quarter-final against Boca Juniors.
