Gabigol scores in stoppage time, Santos snatch a draw against Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians and Santos ended in a 1-1 draw on Thursday night at Vila Belmiro, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista. Timão was leading until the end, with a goal from Yuri Alberto, but Gabigol found the equalizer for the home team already in stoppage time of the second half.

Battle of the Number 9s

Yuri Alberto and Gabigol were the standout names of the derby. Playing against the team that developed him, the Timão striker missed a penalty he himself had won after a beautiful individual play, but redeemed himself just three minutes later by opening the scoring.

Gabigol, on the other hand, had a rather quiet game, but shined when he equalized at the 48th minute with a free kick.

Standings

With this result, Corinthians sits in eighth place with five points. Santos has the same number of points but is in ninth. The top eight advance to the second phase of the State Championship. The bottom two are relegated.

How was the match?

After a balanced start at Vila Belmiro, Corinthians had a golden chance to open the scoring just 13 minutes in. Yuri Alberto took advantage of a mistake by Rollheiser in midfield, charged into the box, and was brought down by Zé Ivaldo. The referee awarded a penalty. However, on the kick, the Timão striker sent it wide.

But it didn’t take long for the number 9 to redeem himself. Three minutes later, the visitors’ attack bombarded Gabriel Brazão. The goalkeeper saved the first two attempts, but on the third, Yuri Alberto slotted it into the corner to open the scoring.

Corinthians remained better in the first half and gave Santos no chance to react.

In the second half, the derby continued at the same pace. Peixe, nervous on the field, could create very little. On the other side, Timão managed the advantage well and hardly suffered until stoppage time.

Santos only got into the game in the final minutes. Their first real chance came at 46 minutes. Gabigol picked up a loose ball at the edge of the box and curled a shot just over the crossbar. On the next play, however, the number 9 didn’t forgive. With a free kick, the striker found the net and sent Vila Belmiro into a frenzy.
