Santos concede in 7 straight games, matching season’s worst run | OneFootball

Santos matched an unwanted defensive record this season after the 1-1 draw with Fortaleza last Saturday at Vila Belmiro.

With the goal conceded against the team from Ceará, scored by Adam Bareiro in the first half, Peixe has now gone seven consecutive matches conceding goals. This negative streak began with the 2-2 draw against Red Bull Bragantino. After that came the draw with Grêmio (1-1), the loss to Ceará (3-0), the win over Corinthians (3-1), the defeat to Vitória (1-0), and the draws with Botafogo (2-2) and Fortaleza (1-1). During this period, the team conceded 11 goals.

This is the third time in 2025 that Santos has matched the streak of seven consecutive games conceding goals. The first occurred between January and February, in the season’s first seven matches, all in the Campeonato Paulista — also with 11 goals conceded.

The second happened between July and August, this time in the Campeonato Brasileiro, when the team conceded 17 goals, including a 6-0 thrashing by Vasco.

In total this season, Santos has already conceded 60 goals in 45 matches, an average of 1.3 per game. In only 11 matches did the team leave the field without conceding.

Santos’ position in the standings

With 33 points, Peixe remains stuck in the fight against relegation in the Campeonato Brasileiro, occupying 16th place.

Had they beaten Fortaleza, they could have opened up a four-point lead over the relegation zone. Now, however, the gap to Vitória, the first team inside the drop zone, is just two points.
