São Paulo asserted its favoritism and thrashed Desportiva Perilima 5-0 tonight (8), at Anacleto Campanella, for the second round of Copinha, guaranteeing its spot in the next stage of the competition. The goals were scored by Pedrinho, from a penalty, Beraldo, Pablo and João Adriano, twice.

For the third round, next Tuesday (11), at 19:30 (Brasília time), São Paulo will face Azulão to define which team ends the group stage in first place.
São Paulo dominates the confrontation and does not give Perilima a chance
For the confrontation against the team from Campina Grande (PB), coach Alex selected Young; Nathan (Pagé), Beraldo, Luizão and Patryck (Guilherme); Pablo, Léo (Negrucci), Caio (João Adriano) and Pedrinho (Samuel); Vitinho and Maioli (Luiz Henrique).
Unlike their debut game, Tricolor opened the gap early in the game, after a penalty at two minutes. In the charge, Pedrinho moved the goalkeeper to score his second goal in Copinha.
At 12 minutes, Perilima was scared. Luiz took a dangerous free kick and forced Young to make a great save. In the next move, Isaac finished firmly and the São Paulo goalkeeper prevented the equalizer. Six minutes later, almost the second goal of the Tricolor: Pedrinho took a corner, Beraldo climbed high and headed with danger, but sent it out.
The bid was repeated at 31, but this time with a goal. Vitinho took a corner from the right and Beraldo again went to the second floor, beat the markers and completed with a header to cover goalkeeper João and expand the score.
Before the first half ended, Tricolor almost scored one more with Caio on two occasions – the second on the crossbar. At the last minute, Carlos Maia took a risk from afar and hit the corner, but Young made another great intervention, helping São Paulo to take the advantage of two goals for the interval.
The boys from the São Paulo team started the final stage with the same offensive impetus as the first, and pressured in search of the third goal. At 18, Caio received with space in the penalty area, but hit weakly and missed a great opportunity to go to the nets.
Alex’s team kept insisting, until they scored the third in the 38th minute. Luizinho was triggered by Vitinho and rolled for the arrival of Pablo, who kicked in place and beat goalkeeper João. Two minutes later, the victory turned into a rout: Samuel sought the pass through infiltration to Vitinho, but the defender cut and the ball left for João Adriano, free, who completed for the back of the goal.
There was still time for João to close the convincing performance with one more goal. At 43, Vitinho took a free kick on the crossbar, and, on the rebound, shirt number 7 completed his header to close the score in São Caetano do Sul (SP).
