The Peixe faced some difficulties with the new setup. Just 22 seconds into the game, Joaquín Correa took advantage of the mistake by Frías and Igor Vinícius to open the scoring. The second goal, at the 25th minute, also came from the right side of Santos' defensive sector.

Amidst the difficulties, Vojvoda reverted to a four-man defense in the second half. He substituted the yellow-carded Alexis Duarte to bring in Guilherme.

Now, the coach will evaluate whether to continue with the three-defender formation for the rest of the season.

“They are three good defenders. It's a possibility. I don't know if for the next game. It's a possibility, but it's good for the coach to be able to count on three defenders for different reasons. There are games that require this formation,” analyzed the coach.
