São Bernardo FC struggles early in Serie C
dgabc.com.br (Portuguese) —
São Bernardo FC has had its worst start in its third consecutive season in Brazil's Serie C, currently in the relegation zone. The team has yet to win after two matches, with one draw and one loss, a stark contrast to previous seasons. In 2023 and 2024, São Bernardo had stronger starts, even reaching the playoff stages in 2023. The poor start in 2025 includes a controversial penalty in a recent loss to Maringá, leaving the team needing a win against Itabaiana to improve their standing.
