Internacional held serve on their home court with a 1-0 win over Sao Paulo.

This means Sao Paulo needs to win by two goals at home in Mouribi.

Globo Esporte- Retranca custa caro. Paga-se com gol, com derrota, com o distanciamento de uma vaga em final de Libertadores da América. Vontade de vencer traz o efeito contrário: dá recompensa, oferece vitória, brinda com a esperança de novo título continental. No duelo entre Internacional e São Paulo, venceu quem quis vencer. Giuliano, aos 23 minutos do segundo tempo, furou o bloqueio tricolor e deu ao Colorado uma vitória que não poderia ser mais justa.

O duelo da volta é na semana que vem, na quinta-feira, no Morumbi. Os gaúchos jogam pelo empate e até por derrota de um gol, a partir do 2 a 1. Ao São Paulo, resta vencer por, pelo menos, dois gols de vantagem ou devolver o placar do Beira-Rio e tentar a sorte nos pênaltis.

Colorado had the better of it through out the match.

It looked like Tricolor was just hanging on for life.

Sao Paulo is a side that is in complete disarray.

Tricolor keeper Rogerio Ceni must have felt a duck in a shooting gallery.

Internacional scored the only marker of the match in the 67^th minute. Giuliano did a spin arama in the box. After he came out of the second spin Giuliano fired a wicked shot that caromed off the left post and into the back of the net.

Sao Paulo keeper Rogerio was dead to rights.

He never had a chance.

This spin move ala Earl “The Pearle” Monroe flat out beat three Tricolor defenders.

One on three should result in a stop but this cat Giuliano showed a flair for the spectacular beating three defenders.

Pele would be proud of this gutsy move.

Game, set, and match to Internacional

Round two is set for next Thursday in Mouribi.

Sao Paulo is in a shambles.

Tricolor has not won in five straight matches.

 Sao Paulo has one draw and four losses.

This is not good.
