Sertaozinho-SP Youth 0–0 Sao Bento SP Youth | Campeonato Paulista Youth | June 28, 2026

A goalless draw at Estádio Municipal Frederico Dalmaso saw Sertaozinho‑SP Youth and Sao Bento SP Youth share the spoils in a tightly contested Campeonato Paulista Youth fixture. Neither side could find the breakthrough despite several promising spells, leaving both teams to rue missed chances in a match that highlighted the defensive discipline of the young squads.

Match Overview

The match started cautiously, with both teams focusing on maintaining structure rather than taking risks. The first half produced only a handful of attempts, the best of which came from Sertaozinho’s forward Lucas Mendes, whose curling effort from the edge of the box was tipped over by the Sao Bento goalkeeper in the 34th minute. The second half saw a slight increase in tempo, but finishing remained wayward. Sao Bento’s striker Pedro Augusto headed just wide from a corner in the 78th minute, the closest the visitors came to breaking the deadlock.

Standout Players

Sertaozinho goalkeeper Matheus Costa kept a clean sheet with two comfortable saves, while Sao Bento’s centre‑back Gabriel Souza was a rock at the back, winning seven aerial duels.
