- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
São Paulo defeated Atlético-MG 2 to 0 on Saturday at the MorumBis stadium during the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match remained scoreless in the first half, though a goal by São Paulo's Gustavo Santana was disallowed by VAR for offside. The deadlock broke in the second half when Luciano scored in the 20th minute, followed by a header from Iago Borduchi in the 22nd minute. With this result, São Paulo reached 33 points and moved to 10th place in the standings, while Atlético-MG remained in 8th place with 36 points.
The victory ended a 14-game unbeaten streak for Atlético-MG, which had not lost since May 24. Atlético-MG coach Eduardo Domínguez attributed the loss to physical and mental wear and tear following a demanding series of matches, including a recent victory over rival Cruzeiro. For São Paulo, the win marks their second consecutive victory and moves them further away from the relegation zone. Coach Dorival Júnior noted that he opted for a three-defender strategy and kept striker Calleri on the bench for recovery purposes.
Both teams are now shifting their focus to the Copa Sul-Americana quarterfinals. São Paulo is scheduled to face Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, while Atlético-MG will play Santos on Wednesday.
