In the uncertain hours of a club in crisis, São Paulo stepped onto a half-empty pitch in late May and found, under a new coach's first command, something they had been missing: a convincing win. Dorival Júnior's opening match against Boston River in the Copa Sudamericana did not merely advance the team to the next round as group leaders — it offered a pause in a longer story of decline, a moment where possibility, however fragile, reasserted itself. Whether this is a turning point or a temporary reprieve is the question that now follows the club forward.
