They then beat Corinthians 1-0 at home through Eduardo Sasha, followed by a 1-0 at Bahia thanks to Carlos Sánchez. The fifth win was a 1-0 at Botafogo at Engenhão, Marinho deciding it.

Santos then overcame Avaí 3-1 at Vila Belmiro, Felipe Jonatan, Carlos Sánchez and Derlis González scoring. The sequence ended with a 6-1 against Goiás, Soteldo netting twice along with Eduardo Sasha, Carlos Sánchez, Gustavo Henrique and Lucas Veríssimo, with Kayke for the visitors.

The unbeaten run ended next time out against São Paulo at Morumbis, a 3-2 defeat. Santos’ goals came from Eduardo Sasha and an own goal by Raniel, while Reinaldo and Alexandre Pato, twice, scored for the hosts.
