How was the match?

First Half

The start of the match at the Neo Química Arena was uneventful, with Santos running into Bragantino’s solid defense and unable to pose any threat to goalkeeper Cleiton. The first good chance of the game came from the visiting team in the 21st minute. After a pass from Vinicinho, Eduardo Sasha shot first time and forced Gabriel Brazão to make the first save of the match.

For the rest of the first half, Santos continued to struggle to impose themselves, coming under pressure from Bragantino at times. In the 43rd minute, Vinicinho received a long ball from Gabriel and shot across goal, but the ball grazed the post. Santos’ only good chance in the first half came three minutes later with Gabigol. After a counterattack set up by Zé Rafael, the Menino da Vila fired first time over Cleiton’s goal.

Second Half

In the second half, Red Bull Bragantino continued to control the game. In the eighth minute, Vinicinho crossed to Lucas Barbosa, who flicked the ball on for Eduardo Sasha to shoot first time and hit the crossbar. Despite a strong start, Massa Bruta could not maintain their momentum and the game became bogged down in midfield.

In the final stretch, Santos even tried a more attacking approach with the introduction of Robinho Jr., but continued to be pressured by Red Bull Bragantino. Massa Bruta almost opened the scoring in the 40th minute, when Lucas Barbosa took advantage of a scramble and headed just wide of the Santos goal. In stoppage time, the visitors had another great chance: after a long ball from Sosa, Fernando went one-on-one with Brazão, but the Peixe goalkeeper secured the draw at the Arena.
