Adriano Scores Twice in his Return

The Paulista Championship started tonight for the big clubs from São Paulo. The man of the night was Adriano, who debuted for São Paulo in his return to Brazilian football. The Brazilian champs visited Guaratinguetá and had a hard time to develop its game. The locals opened the score board in a mistake by Rogério Ceni. But then Adriano decided to play. He was the most incisive player for the visitors, searching for the ball and creating chances. In the second-half, he scored before the second minute from a long-range shot. With 15 minutes left, Adriano took a free-kick and scored again! He is back!

Santos

Santos visited Portuguesa on Wednesday night. And football emulates life. In 2006, Santos had a 2-0 victory against Portuguesa, which sent the team to the second division of the Paulista league. Last night, Portuguesa returned to the first division against Santos and gave back a 2-0 victory. Santos showed a weak team whereas Portuguesa seems to have returned to its better days, when it was considered a big club. Christian and Marcelo scored for Portuguesa. Coach Leão will have tons of work to do.
