Gabriel Brazão slams Santos’ display in draw with Guarani: “Well below par” | OneFootball

This Sunday, Santos drew 1-1 with Guarani at the Brinco de Ouro Stadium in Campinas, conceding a goal in the final moments of the match, which was valid for the third round of the Campeonato Paulista. Despite a strong individual performance that prevented a worse result for Peixe, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão lamented the draw and criticized the team's performance.

“I even have to think about my words so I don’t say something foolish. It was a very poor game, and I think the result was fair based on what we created and what Guarani created. But we can’t play the way we did, we need much more. Now we have a derby at home and we need to get the win,” Brazão began.

The Santos goalkeeper even saved a penalty taken by Mirandinha at the start of the second half, when the game was still goalless and Peixe was creating little in attack. Brazão’s good saves secured the draw, but he stated that the team’s lack of focus throughout the game was decisive for the result.

“What stands out is the lack of attention throughout the whole game. Guarani had many chances and the draw is fair. But we have to fix this and we can’t keep making these mistakes, because they cost us points and today they cost us the win. These lapses in concentration have been hurting us since last season and they can’t hurt us this season too,” the goalkeeper concluded.

With this result, Santos has now gone two games without a win in the Paulista, after losing to Palmeiras in the last round’s derby. The team now sits in eighth place in the table, with only four points, and needs to get back to winning in order to stay in the qualifying zone for the State Championship quarterfinals.
