Neymar strikes on the stroke of half-time as Santos snap winless run | OneFootball

Santos beat RB Bragantino 2-0 at Estádio Urbano Caldeira to end a three-match league drought and rise from 16th to 14th in the Brasileirão.

Neymar broke the deadlock in the fifth minute of first half stoppage time, sweeping a left-footer into the bottom left after Gabriel Bontempo led a fast break.

After the restart, Diógenes tipped away Gustavo Marques' low drive as Braga pushed for a response. The goalkeeper finished with three saves.

Bontempo then departed injured and Rony came on (70.). Moments later, Peixe doubled the lead when Adonis Frias finished from a set piece (76.).

Peixe posted 53.2% possession and seven corners as they controlled key phases. Braga registered 11 attempts but hit the target only three times.
