With this 2-1 victory, Talleres assumed the lead in Group B of the Copa Libertadores at the end of the first day and in its wake are Barcelona and Cobresal, who tied 1-1 in the Chilean desert on Wednesday.
Ruiz Rodríguez put Talleres ahead in the 45th minute and Botta added the lead in the 53rd minute. Luciano appeared from the bench to make up for the defeat with a goal in the 66th minute.
Sao Paulo was surrounded by bad news from the beginning of the match played at the Mario Kempes stadium.
In the 6th minute, a kick from captain Rafinha to Paraguayan Ramón Sosa left the forward with no possibility of continuing, the Brazilian with a yellow card, and Ramiro Ruiz Rodríguez entered the field.
He was the newcomer who tipped the balance at the end of the first half after a projection by Matías Catalán. By then Sao Paulo had exhausted its changes due to the injuries that undermined Lucas, Rafinha and Rato.
At the beginning of the second half, in the 53rd minute, Botta received near the area, eluded the defender and extended the lead with his left foot. However, in the best moment of the local team, the visit found the discount when in the 66th minute the Argentine Giuliano Galoppo finished from outside the area, Guido Herrera rebounded and Luciano converted.
James left in the 65th minute without having any chance to stand out in the game. Hard blow for Sao Paulo in its debut.
