Santos face Remo with 12-game Copa do Brasil streak and penalty pain | OneFootball

Santos visit Remo on Tuesday night at the Mangueirão in Belém in the Copa do Brasil last-16 second leg, protecting a 12-match unbeaten run in the competition and chasing a quarter-final spot. Kick-off is 21:30 Brasília time.

They are 12 games without defeat in the cup, six wins and six draws, with 12 goals scored and only two conceded.

Their most recent defeat was the 4-0 loss to Corinthians in the 2022 last-16 first leg at the Neo Química Arena, when they trailed 3-0 at half-time. After the match, then coach Fabián Bustos said he felt ashamed to look into the camera because of the display and that, if possible, he would have changed all 11 at the break.

Despite the streak, Santos have been knocked out on penalties in 2023 and 2025. They did not take part in the 2024 edition.

In 2023, they drew 0-0 with Bahia at Vila Belmiro, then 1-1 at Arena Fonte Nova. In the shootout João Paulo saved from Ademir, but Camacho and Bruno Mezenga missed, and Santos went out in the last 16.

In 2025, they drew 1-1 with CRB at Vila Belmiro, then 0-0 at the Estádio Rei Pelé. Fernando Henrique failed from the spot for the Alagoas side, yet Guilherme and Zé Ivaldo missed for Santos, who fell in the third round.

The unbeaten stretch began with a 1-0 home win in the 2022 return leg, Marcos Leonardo scoring. That match was marred by pitch incursions and an attempt to attack goalkeeper Cássio.
