At Neo Química Arena, Santos FC defeated Corinthians 1-0 in the Brazilian Championship. The match, valid for the twenty-fifth round of the competition, was played this Sunday (30), and Santos’ goal was scored by Oliva. With the result, Peixe reached 29 points in the competition. The next match for Cuca’s team will be on Wednesday (2), against Palmeiras, in the Copa do Brasil, at Vila Belmiro.

Santos FC’s first chance came in the 11th minute, when Gabriel Bontempo won the ball in midfield and passed to Gabriel Barbosa to carry it forward. The center-forward passed to Neymar Jr., who quickly returned it to Gabigol. The Menino da Vila struck first time, but with little power.

Peixe opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. After Gabriel Bontempo dribbled past his marker and was fouled near the edge of the box, Neymar Jr. stepped up to take the free kick. The number 10 placed the ball into the top corner, and goalkeeper Hugo Souza parried it away, leaving a rebound. Oliva, well positioned, pounced on it and scored the only goal of the match.

Right at the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, Neymar Jr. went down near the box with the ball. He got up, recovered, and passed it to Barreal. The attacker drove into the area and hit a low shot on goal, but the opposing goalkeeper made the save.

The second half saw Santos’ defense shut down Corinthians’ attack. On the few occasions they reached Peixe’s goal, Gabriel Brazão made comfortable saves.

At the end of the match, in stoppage time, Davizinho made a great play down the right wing after a pass from Arão. The Menino da Vila dribbled past the defense and laid it off to Oliva, who shot over the bar.
