Chapecoense SC claimed a 1-0 win over São Paulo SP in the Brasileirão - Série A, converting one first-half chance and then defending it to the end. Bruno Pacheco supplied the only goal, and the official scoreline never moved again.

Match Summary

Chapecoense needed an early foothold, and they found it before the half-hour. Giovanni Augusto created the opening, and Bruno Pacheco finished in the 26th minute. São Paulo then spent long spells on the ball, especially after the interval, without finding a reply.

The second half turned into a test of discipline. Marcinho was booked in the 62nd minute. Anderson and São Paulo's Luciano were both shown yellow cards around the 72nd minute, and Yago Felipe was cautioned immediately afterward, then again a minute later. Camilo Reijers went into the book in the 88th minute. Chapecoense still carried the same one-goal lead they had taken into half-time.

Key Moments

Pacheco's finish decided the contest because it was the only goal of the night. It forced São Paulo to chase for more than an hour against a side content to sit in. The visitors' wastefulness was the next swing. They created the heavier shot volume and still matched Chapecoense with four efforts on target. A burst of yellow cards after the hour then broke their rhythm when they most needed a clean attacking sequence.
