Brazil’s Sao Paulo blanked East Bengal 3-0, exhibiting glimpses of Samba football in the first Super Soccer match at the Kanchanjungha stadium here today.
Sao Paulo’s Carlinhos put the team ahead in the first session before Paula Matos and substitute Jean found the target in the second half.
Carlinhos opened the account for the visitors with a precision header in the 35th minute following Velber’s cross from inside the penalty box that left Bengal’s custodian Nasim Akhtar perplexed.
East Bengal also had their chances, particularly during a bright 10-minute stretch at the beginning of the second half when their striker Ambani failed to head in from close.
