In the third round, the São Paulo team lost 2-1 to Independiente Del Valle, with two goals from the Argentine striker, Lautaro Díaz. Roger Guedes scored the only goal in the defeat of the alvinegro team.

In the national championship, Timão is also going through a bad moment and is in the relegation zone, in eighteenth place, with only 5 points conquered in 7 matches, with a victory, two draws and four defeats.
