Santos lost 1-0 to Palmeiras on Wednesday, in the second round of the Brazilian Championship. The Peixe had few highlights in the classic at Arena Barueri. Escobar, on the other hand, emerged as one of the villains.
The left-back made a mistake leading to Verdão's goal. The Argentine tried to clear the ball but kicked it against Veiga. In the aftermath, with the defensive line disorganized, the hosts took advantage to score.
In attack, Lautaro Díaz disappointed. The forward missed a clear chance when the score was still 0-0.
Santos remains with three points and is currently in eighth place. The top eight qualify for the knockout stage. The bottom two will be relegated to Série A2.
