Gabigol and Rollheiser lead Santos to victory over Internacional | OneFootball

Gabigol and Rollheiser led Santos to victory over Internacional, the striker scoring twice and the Argentine supplying an assist.

According to Globo.com, Gabigol dispossessed Félix Torres to open the scoring, then won and converted a penalty. Rollheiser crossed for Oliva to head a third before the break.

Inter replied after half-time through Aguirre. Late on, Miguelito conceded a penalty with his first action, which Bruno Henrique converted. Gabigol was booked to miss Cruzeiro, though he was already due to sit out.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão handled crosses well, could not stop Aguirre's strike and guessed wrong for the spot-kick. At the back, Willian Arão and Luan Peres were steady, and Escobar contained Vitinho before pushing on after a sending off.

Rollheiser shone before the interval but faded later. Oliva impressed early, though he was slow to press for Inter's first.

Arthur Melo impressed on debut, helping Santos control possession. Gabriel Bontempo worked mostly without the ball, Lima's first outing was tidy with a late chance, and João Schmidt added energy.

Caballero grafted on the left but lacked polish and lost Bruno Gomes for Inter's first. Thaciano competed in the air and dropped back to help. Head coach Cuca stuck to the Vasco plan, which worked before the interval, though the side eased off and invited pressure.
