Christian Oliva strikes as Santos earn valuable away win | OneFootball

Santos beat Corinthians 1-0 in the Brasileirão, condemning the hosts to a third straight league defeat.

In the 33rd minute Christian Oliva swept a left-footed finish into the bottom left from close range after a set piece to put Peixe ahead.

After the restart, Timão turned to Pedro Raúl (64.) and went more direct, forcing sustained pressure and a flurry of corners.

Peixe goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão thwarted Dieguinho with a low stop (66.) and then tipped Pedro Raúl's stoppage time header over deep into second half stoppage time.

Timão dominated the ball with 62.1% possession and registered 18 attempts, but hit the target only twice. Peixe were clinical with four shots on target from eight attempts and dug in with 36 clearances.

Timão remain 10th on 32 points. Peixe sit 14th on 29. Next, Timão host Chapecoense in the league. Peixe host Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil next.
