The Santos suffered a painful defeat to Ceará, by 3 to 0, this Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. At Castelão, Santos was not very creative and, in the chances it had, it was not able to score. Lautaro Díaz explained what the team lacked and said that the squad is "owing".
"We know we owe the club, the fans. We believe a lot in ourselves. We still have this desire to move forward, but today was not a good game. I think we lacked building with more determination, getting more into the area, shooting more. In the other game, we managed to shoot more and in this one we lacked that," he told Amazon Prime.
Ceará opened the score still in the first half and made the other two goals in the final stage. Lucas Mugni, Pedro Henrique, and Fernando Sobral shook the nets for Vozão. The night also featured good saves from Bruno Ferreira, who prevented some chances from Santos. The crossbars were also protagonists.
The result leaves Santos with 28 points, in the 16th position, three points from Vitória, the team that opens the relegation zone. This was the first defeat of Alvinegro Praiano with coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda in charge. The coach will now have the FIFA date period to make the necessary adjustments to his team for the rest of the season.
