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.

It is only two months into the 2010 futebol campaign for Sao Paulo. Tricolor has lots of problems and if they continue to play this way Sao Paulo will indeed have a very long year.

Rogerio Ceni recorded first blood for Sao Paulo. He nailed a screamer into the wall. Bing bam boom the shot comes flying off the wall into the back of the net. Once Caldas keeper Luis Martinez never had a chance to stop this sucker.

This made it 1-0 for Sao Paulo in the 33^rd minute.

With this goal, Ceni becomes Sao Paulo’s all time leading scorer with eleven goals in the Copa Libertadores.

Then the wheels fell off the wagon for Sao Paulo.

Once Caldas ratcheted up the pressure.

Once Caldas tied this baby up in the 49^th minute. Uribe flat out beat Tricolor defender Xandao. Wham bam boom, back of the net for Uribe and we are even at one all.

Once Caldas took the lead when Moreno ran rings around the Sao Paulo “D”. He ripped the twines in the 71^st minute to give Once Caldas a 2-1 lead.

This was all she wrote.

Stick a fork in Sao Paulo for they are surely done.

Once Caldas has six points after two matches. Sao Paulo has three points.

For the past few weeks, Sao Paulo has been playing horrible futebol. Sure, Tricolor is in second placed in Group Two but Sao Paulo has dropped two straight matches.

Sao Paulo has lost to Portuguesa, Palmeiras, and Santos in the Campeonato Paulista.

Tricolor is currently in sixth place with 17 points. Tricolor trails Torneo Paulista leader Santos by eight points.

Lets shift gears for a moment. We have two huge matches on Saturday in the EPL.

The biggie is Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City is coming off a hard loss to Stoke City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Blues lost to Inter 2-1. This was a hard fought tangle between the Blues and Inter in the first stage of the Champions League knockout round.

Both goals given up by Chelsea were bitter pills to swallow for the Blues. Jose Mourinho Inter’s headman is the former Blues boss who took them to EPL glory.

Will this disappointment bite Chelsea in the butt?

We will find out.

The Blues are unbeaten at home and have only been scored on eight times by the opposition at Stamford Bridge.

Goals will hard to come by for City.

Manchester City will have Carlos Tevez. This should provide an offensive spark for City.

The Blues will be without Petr Cech, torn calf muscle, and Ashley Cole, broken ankle.

I can’t wait to see who dictates the match.

Will it be Tevez or Drogba?

You can sure bet there will be a ton of fireworks on the pitch with these two very intense players battling it out.

We have a huge match with Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners will have the services of Eduardo available however; we will be without Gallas, Diaby, and Arshavin. This could hurt us deeply if we are not careful.

Fabregas and the guys need to come through big time.

Road wins are a premium in the EPL.

We need to win this baby.

Three points are a must.

When the dust finally settles on Saturday we will have a clearer picture of how the race shaped up for the title run.

Man U has already won.

The pressure is squarely on Chelsea and Arsenal to keep up pace.

All we need is for Chelsea to have a brain fart and lose at home and we’re in like Flynn.
