Santos returns to the field this Thursday (22), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they visit CRB at the Rei Pelé Stadium in Alagoas, for the second leg of the third round of the 2025 Copa do Brasil.
Since the first leg ended 1-1 at Vila Belmiro, whoever wins will qualify for the round of 16. In case of another draw, the spot will be decided by penalties.
Compared to the last match (1-0 for Corinthians in the Brasileirão), coach Cléber Xavier chose to bring in Souza, Guilherme, and Deivid Washington to replace Escobar, Soteldo, and Tiquinho Soares, respectively, for Santos.
Neymar is on the bench after a long injury recovery. As the team left the hotel, fans in Maceió even knocked down the barrier trying to get close to their idol.
