🎉 Neymar celebrates as Santos beat Corinthians, pull away from drop zone | OneFootball

Santos defeated Corinthians in the classic match this Wednesday (15) at Vila Belmiro for the Brasileirão.

The result keeps Peixe in the 16th position, the first above the relegation zone.

But now there is a six-point advantage over 17th, Vitória, which currently has the same number of games played in the championship.

Corinthians has only two points more than Santos in the standings and ends the day in 12th.

Still sidelined due to injury, Neymar was at Vila Belmiro, was seen celebrating the goals, and even received a tribute from his teammates.

The Match

Santos opened the scoring with the first shot of the game, at four minutes, from a corner kick.

Barreal lifted the ball into the area and Zé Rafael headed it to score his first goal wearing the Peixe jersey.

The provider of the assist for the 1-0 shone to double the home team's advantage at Vila Belmiro.

Barreal took a shot from outside the area and sent the ball into the top corner, leaving no chance for Felipe Longo, the goalkeeper making his professional debut.

At the start of the second half, Zé Rafael appeared decisively again during a corner kick.

He was brought down in the area by Breno Bidon while the ball was in the air, and the referee awarded a penalty after a VAR intervention.

Rollheiser took the penalty and extended Santos' lead nine minutes into the second half.

Three minutes later, a new corner kick changed the score, with Corinthians showing signs of a comeback.

Matheuzinho made the cross and found Raniele's head, who finished into the net, closing the score.
