Neymar and Rony come on at half-time to seal Santos’ 1-0 win over Remo | OneFootball

Santos made the most of a man advantage for more than half the match to beat Remo 1-0 at Mangueirão in Belém on Tuesday night, reaching the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. A second-half strike settled it.

Both entered at the interval, Diario Do Peixe publishing player ratings after the match.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão produced a key early stop from Alef Manga.

Remo were reduced to 10 when Marllon was sent off, and Caballero drew the dismissal. He also slipped and missed a presentable chance, yet created openings for Gabriel Barbosa and Gabriel Bontempo.

Neymar beat Zé Welisson before supplying Rony to finish. He later spurned a clear chance with a lob over Marcelo Rangel.

Bontempo squandered a one-on-one after a poor first touch, and Gabriel Menino’s fine pass almost set up a second for Neymar.

Gabriel Barbosa was booked and missed a chance, while João Schmidt was also cautioned. João Ananias lost Alef Manga’s run, and Christian Oliva did not fully exploit the space.

Rollheiser faded after an early opening, Barreal was diligent, and Escobar’s work-rate outstripped his use of the ball. A late Vitor Bueno free-kick hit the post, and Cuca’s call to start Caballero paid off as the bench decided it.
