Bontempo calls for reaction as Santos slip into relegation zone after 2-0 home defeat | OneFootball

Gabriel Bontempo urged a reaction after Santos lost 2-0 to Athletico-PR at Vila Belmiro, a result that left them 17th and in the relegation zone.

The Campeonato Brasileiro setback on Sunday kept Santos on 22 points. According to Diario Do Peixe, the midfielder lamented the outcome.

He felt conceding twice early made a response difficult and allowed Athletico to manage the game the way they wanted.

Bontempo accepted the disappointment but said the squad must work to turn things around, stressing they want to move away from the bottom.

Santos now divide their focus between league and continent. Before returning to Brasileiro duties, they host Macará of Ecuador at Vila Belmiro in the Copa Sudamericana.

Their next league fixture is against Vasco in Rio de Janeiro in the 23rd round.
