How was the match?

Santos showed their credentials in less than a minute of play. After a cross into the box, the ball landed at Christian Oliva’s feet, who fired a rocket with his right foot, just missing the post. In the 10th minute, Barreal shot low to the corner, forcing Hugo Souza into a good save.

Peixe dominated the action, but Corinthians opened the scoring with a breakaway in the 17th minute. Kaio César sprinted down the right and switched the play to Memphis Depay, who dribbled past the defender and curled a shot from the edge of the box, leaving Gabriel Brazão with no chance.

Timão barely had time to celebrate before conceding the equalizer in the 21st minute. Gabriel Paulista made a mistake in the build-up and left the ball at Gabigol’s feet, who broke into the box with plenty of space and slotted past Hugo. All square at Vila.

Corinthians threatened again with an aerial play in the 35th minute. Memphis took a corner to Gustavo Henrique, who headed it but was stopped by Brazão. The Santos goalkeeper had to work again in the 41st minute, saving a shot from Kaio César.

Second half

The first half-hour of the second half brought very little excitement. Corinthians kept possession but couldn’t break through Santos’ defense, who also struggled to get forward.

Peixe threatened in the 36th minute. Rollheiser crossed into the box and found Neymar, who headed just wide. Timão pushed forward after Luan Peres was sent off and also threatened in the 43rd minute. Rodrigo Garro took a long-range free kick, forcing Gabriel Brazão into action.

With two men down after Vinícius Lira left injured, the home team still had a chance with Neymar in stoppage time. The number 10 took a low free kick near the box, but sent it wide.
