Santos miss out on windfall after Sudamericana exit to Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Santos went out of the Copa Sudamericana in the quarter-finals. They lost 4-2 to Atlético-MG in normal time, surrendering their 2-0 first-leg advantage, then were beaten 3-1 on penalties.

According to Diario Do Peixe, falling short of the semi-finals denies the club US$800,000 in Conmebol prize money, about R$4.12 million. A place in the final would have been worth US$2.5 million, with the title paying US$10 million.

Santos finish their campaign with US$2.225 million in prize money, approximately R$11.56 million.

That total comprises US$300,000 for the group stage, US$125,000 for the win over Deportivo Cuenca, US$500,000 for progressing through the play-offs, US$600,000 for the last 16 and US$700,000 for reaching the quarter-finals.

With no further knockout competitions this season, focus turns to the Campeonato Brasileiro as the club look to pull away from the lower reaches of the table.

Their next match is against Remo on Saturday 19 at 18:30 Brasília time, at the Mangueirão in Belém, in round 28 of the Brasileirão.
