Lautaro Díaz rues Santos defeat but insists: “We won’t give up” | OneFootball

The life of Santos remains complicated in the Brazilian Championship. This Sunday, Peixe was defeated 3-2 by Flamengo at Maracanã, in the 33rd round of the competition. Scorer of the second goal for the Alvinegro, forward Lautaro Díaz lamented the result but stated that the team will not give up until they get the coastal club out of this situation.

“We played a good first half. Once again, we conceded a goal from a set piece. We are fighting until the end, we will not give up. We cannot allow ourselves to concede goals like that, in that way. We knew we had two tough games, both away from home. Now we will face Palmeiras again, but this time it will be at our home,” said Lautaro in an interview with Premiere.

Late Reaction

Santos’ two goals this Sunday came during stoppage time in the second half. Scorer of the second goal, Lautaro Díaz only came on in the 27th minute of the final stage.

The player was assisted by Benjamín Rollheiser, who only entered the match in the 40th minute, replacing Neymar. The Argentine duo directly contributed to Peixe’s second goal, but it was not enough to avoid defeat to Flamengo.
