Chapecoense beat São Paulo 1-0 in the Brasileiro Série A, a result built on a single goal and stubborn defending. São Paulo dominated the ball with 76% possession and registered 21 shots, but Chapecoense were the side who took their chance.
Bruno Pacheco put the hosts ahead in the 26th minute, finishing from Giovanni Augusto's assist. São Paulo pushed for an equaliser after the break and forced four saves from the Chapecoense goalkeeper, but they could not convert their pressure into goals.
The underlying numbers made uncomfortable reading for the visitors: they had 692 accurate passes to Chapecoense's 165 and created two big chances, missing both, while Chapecoense scored from their only big chance. Outplayed but clinical, Chapecoense took the points.
