Decisive figure drives Santos at Palmeiras | OneFootball

Benjamin Rollheiser whipped a left-footed strike into the bottom-right corner in the 26th minute to put Santos ahead in a 1-1 draw at Palmeiras.

The forward found room from range and drilled low beyond the goalkeeper, a clean hit that rewarded Peixe's early transitions.

On the stroke of half time he forced another save from distance. After the restart, Verdão levelled (64.), yet Rollheiser kept stretching them, sliding Alvaro Barreal into space for a clear sight of goal (79.).

He finished with five attempts, three on target, plus five key passes and five successful dribbles, underlining how often he carried attacks and linked phases for the Alvinegro Praiano.

From wide areas he repeatedly received on the move, carried at defenders and combined early, keeping Palestra's back line off balance and ensuring Santos posed a threat between the lines.

Peixe visit Recoleta in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana next, while Palestra go to Cristal in the Libertadores.
