Runner-up in the Copa Libertadores in 2002 and in the Brasileirão in 2000 and 2001, São Caetano has not enjoyed glory days for a long time.
And it confirmed a major embarrassment last Saturday (5).
After losing 5-0 in the first leg, Azulão then saw Primavera win 7-0 to seal qualification for the Copa Paulista quarterfinals in front of its home crowd.

Highlight for striker Kauan Cunha, who was coming off a hat-trick and scored FIVE more goals in the clash that ended 12-0 in favor of the team from Indaiatuba.
It was the end of a season that had started promisingly, as São Caetano had the second-best campaign in the first phase of Série A4, the fourth division of the Campeonato Paulista.
It reached the semifinals but was eliminated by Penapolense, missing out on promotion to A3.
As for the Copa Paulista, the campaign was poor from the start, as Azulão picked up only two points in six rounds.
Its place in the “play-in” for a quarterfinal spot only happened because Santo André was docked ten points due to an ineligible lineup.
When was the last time Azulão played in each tournament?
