“From a corner — the second awarded in quick succession — Bruno Pacheco gets on the end of Giovanni Augusto's delivery to put Chapecoense ahead, a goal that would prove to be the only one of the afternoon.”
Pivotal“Camilo is booked for time-wasting in the dying minutes, a telling image of Chapecoense doing whatever was necessary to see out a famous victory.”

Outstanding performance
Chapecoense•GoalkeeperChapecoense pulled off a remarkable smash-and-grab victory, holding São Paulo to a 1-0 defeat despite being outplayed in virtually every statistical category. The hosts registered just 23% possession and faced 89 dangerous attacks from their opponents, yet it was Chapecoense who struck first and, crucially, last — Bruno Pacheco converting from a corner in the 26th minute to give the underdogs a lead they would never relinquish. São Paulo's dominance was staggering on paper: 790 passes completed at 90% accuracy, three big chances created, and 22 shots — but they squandered all three of their big opportunities, a profligacy that proved fatal. Chapecoense's defensive discipline was exceptional, completing 15 tackles to São Paulo's eight and making five saves through their goalkeeper to keep the clean sheet, absorbing wave after wave of pressure in what amounted to a rearguard action for large portions of the second half. The result is a significant boost for Chapecoense's Serie A standing and a damaging blow to São Paulo, whose inability to convert their dominance into goals will raise serious questions about their cutting edge.
