Vitão rues Inter’s draw with Santos: “Football can be cruel” | OneFootball

This Monday, Internacional drew 1-1 with Santos at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre, for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship and missed the chance to move away from the relegation zone. Defender Vitão lamented the result, as Colorado dominated the match but failed to convert their chances into goals.

“We created many chances and, in the situation we’re in, we have to turn them into goals. I think the first half should have ended 3-0. But football makes you pay, football is cruel. We had the chance to kill the game in the first half, but we didn’t, and Santos had an opportunity and tied the game,” the player told Sportv.

With the draw, Internacional sits in 15th place on the table, with 41 points—just three more than Santos, who are at the top of the relegation zone.
