Santos player ratings: see how the squad fared in defeat to Palmeiras | OneFootball

Santos was defeated by Palmeiras this Thursday at Allianz Parque, in the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Defenders Alexis Duarte and Zé Ivaldo were the main villains in the setback, which keeps Peixe in the relegation zone.

The duo started the derby poorly and later gained some confidence, but failed in both of Palmeiras’ goals. In the first, Zé Ivaldo lost an aerial duel to Flaco López. In the second, Alexis Duarte was easily outpaced by Vitor Roque in a foot race.

Lautaro Díaz also had a performance to forget. The Argentine forward got almost everything wrong on the field, in addition to wasting counter-attacks.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, on the other hand, was a standout. The keeper made 11 saves in total and prevented a bigger scoreline. Besides him, midfielders Willian Arão and Zé Rafael played a good defensive role, despite the goals conceded. Together, the two tallied two tackles, four interceptions, and 12 clearances.

Meanwhile, wingbacks Mayke and Souza and midfielders Victor Hugo and Barreal were ineffective. Young forward Robinho Jr. made his debut as a starter, but was unable to produce much.
