📹 Tempers flare at the end, Santos and Fluminense draw a blank at Vila | OneFootball

Santos - now with Vojvoda - continues to disappoint in the Brasileirão.

Meanwhile, Fluminense continues to perform below ideal away from home.

In a match with few real chances of goals, Peixe and Tricolor ended in a 0 x 0 draw this Sunday (31), in front of 12,515 spectators at Vila.

Which was valid for the 22nd round of the competition.

And it had a final stretch with a dispute and a Santos goal annulled.

Where's the good football?

The first half at Vila had zero finishes.

Santos could not involve Fluminense due to attacks with few players in the opponent's field.

Peixe lacked speed and inspiration. Guilherme was the most called upon.

Tricolor, on the other hand, had more possession. But also without being able to be engaging.

And ended up with two booked after tackles on Neymar.

Almost nothing changed...

Santos showed more volume after the interval.

Facing a Fluminense that could not be aggressive with the ball.

And was very present in the rival area.

The sequence was of attempts by both coaches.

The game became more open. But still full of mistakes when it came to "deciding".

Santos continued to be more aggressive. But without being able to be objective.

And the team from Rio - with Ganso and Soteldo - did little.

Dispute and offside

Otávio's foul and, later, Thiago Santos' entry left Neymar with pain in his right knee.

And angry with Wilton Pereira Sampaio.

Who booked the Santos number 10.

The sequence had the Peixe captain kicking the ball and calls for a new card for him - mainly from Ganso.

The free-kick had Tiquinho beating Fábio.

But the offside was marked on the field - and confirmed via VAR.
