Santos debuted in the Campeonato Paulista with a 2-1 victory over Novorizontino. The standout of the match was Gabigol, who scored in his re-debut for the coastal team.
The center forward played all 90 minutes. In addition to the goal, he took three shots (one on target), delivered a key pass, and recovered two balls, according to Sofascore data.
Zé Ivaldo was another who performed well at Vila Belmiro. The defender completed 66 accurate passes (93% success rate), had 90 actions with the ball (game leader), won 10 out of 12 duels (game leader), made two goal-line clearances, four tackles, 12 defensive actions, and recovered six balls.
On the other hand, Caballero disappointed. The forward was given a chance among the starters but missed two clear scoring opportunities and was substituted at halftime.
