How the match went

Playing with the support of their fans, Palmeiras started the match dominating possession. The team, however, struggled to find space in the Santos defense and to threaten Gabriel Brazão.

As a result, it was Santos who created the first real danger. At 16 minutes, Thaciano made a good play with Barreal, who crossed perfectly for Lautaro Díaz. The striker went for a header at the far post, but was blocked at the last moment by Khellven, who prevented the visitors’ goal.

The derby remained uneventful until the 40th minute, when Allan opened the scoring in Barueri. The midfielder took advantage of a loose ball in midfield and launched it to Flaco López. The striker broke into the box and, as Brazão came out, passed it back. Allan finished first time and sent the Palmeiras fans into celebration.

2nd half

After the break, Palmeiras had a good chance to extend their lead. After a long ball into the box, Veiga headed it down and Flaco aimed for goal. Brazão stretched out in front of the striker and managed to deflect the ball with his arm.

From then on, Santos tried to impose themselves and pressed in search of an equalizer. However, Juan Pablo Vojvoda's team was also having an uninspired night and hardly troubled Carlos Miguel. Gabigol, who came on in the second half, did get a few shots off, but all were off target.

In the end, Palmeiras still had a golden opportunity to increase their lead. Vitor Roque broke away on a counterattack and set up Luighi, who was stopped by Brazão. The missed goal didn’t matter, though, because Carlos Miguel shone with two consecutive saves in the final minute, on shots from Robinho Jr. and Miguelito.
