The U-20 team secured a place in the 2nd round of the Copa do Brasil on Thursday afternoon (10) by defeating Cuiabá 4-3 in the penalty shootout in a single-leg match held at CT Rei Pelé! In regular time, the game ended 1-1, with a goal from Contreras!

Rodrigo Cézar, Diego Matos, Guilherme Cruz, and Pepê Fermino converted Santos’ penalties, while goalkeeper João Pedro came up with a huge save!

Santos opened the scoring just 4 minutes in after a corner kick taken by Vinícius Fabri. Contreras’ first header was saved by the goalkeeper, but he pounced on the rebound and headed home again to open the scoring.

Still in the first half, the Santos side had more chances to extend the lead but failed to convert them into goals. In the second half, despite Santos’ continued dominance, Cuiabá managed to equalize late in the match, sending the battle for qualification to a penalty shootout.

In the next round, Santos FC will face Palmeiras in October, on a date yet to be confirmed.
