Sao Paulo Juniors Crowned Champions Today


The Sao Paulo FC Junior team beat Santos FC in a penalty shoot out after a 1 x 1 draw in regular playing time becoming the undefeated champions of the traditional "Copa Sao Paulo de Futebol Junior" (the city of Sao Paulo's yearly competition that always ends on January 25th, the city's birthday). The game started out pretty even, but it was Santos' Renan Mota who scored the first goal at eighteen minutes into the first half. Sao Paulo managed to tie the game at the end of the second half, when the championship looked like it was going to Santos. In the game's 85th minute, Roniele scored to tie the game and force overtime. After no change in the score after overtime, the teams went into a penalty shoot out where Sao Paulo's goalkeeper, Richard, had three saves, leading the club to its 3rd championship in history.
