Breno Lopes double lifts Coritiba to landmark win and top six | OneFootball

Coritiba beat Santos 3-0 on Sunday in São Paulo, claiming their first league win over the hosts since 2016 and climbing from 10th to sixth.

Breno Lopes struck in the fifth minute, finishing off a Josue break to put Coxa ahead. He pounced again from close range (20.).

A penalty followed after Gonzalo Escobar fouled Lopes in the box, and Josue converted from the spot (39.).

Peixe had 62.8% possession and 13 attempts but found Pedro Rangel in firm touch, the goalkeeper making three saves and shutting out headers from Escobar and Neymar before the interval.

After the restart Peixe reshaped, yet their task worsened when Alvaro Barreal was sent off with a straight red (73.). Coxa managed the game and were clinical, posting five shots on target from nine attempts.

Next, Peixe host San Lorenzo in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. Coxa host Bahia in the Brasileirão.
