The Red Bull Bragantino and the Portuguese, both with 11 points, go to the field on Thursday, against Mirassol and São Bernardo, respectively.
The first half of Santos was not good. Fructiferous crossings and passing errors were the most recurring play types in the Northwest defense field. The most dangerous player of Santos in the early stage was Guilherme after putting goalkeeper Felipe Alves to work on ten minutes, managed to surpass him at 48, when he got the ball inside the area after Chermont cross and, free, placed on the network. It was the tenth goal of the striker this season.
In the second half, the home team was more comfortable on the field and was able to articulate more interesting plays in the offensive phase. At 11 minutes, Tiquinho touched his head after Soteldo’s cross and saw the ball play in Maycon. In the leftover, he reached the ball before Neymar, who also ran toward her, and kicked to score the second Santos goal. The advantage of two goals gave Santos a lot of tranquility. Coach Pedro Caixinha even took the opportunity to replace Neymar, who was hanging and continues to be careful not to compromise the physical part. Thaciano was chosen to replace the ace and the person responsible for scoring the third goal of the alvinegra team.
