Santos player ratings: Gabigol the hero, Zé Ivaldo the villain in derby

Santos drew 1-1 with Corinthians on Thursday at Vila Belmiro, in the fourth round of the Paulista Championship. Gabigol was the standout player for the home team.

The striker saved the home team with a free-kick goal in the second half's stoppage time. Additionally, he had five shots, 24 actions with the ball, and suffered one foul, according to Sofascore data.

On the other hand, Zé Ivaldo performed poorly in the classic. The defender committed a penalty, made two fouls, won only one of the four duels he contested, did not make any tackles, and was dribbled past once.
