This is the first time Peixe have beaten Timão in Itaquera in a national league match.

Before that, there had been five draws and six wins for the home side at NQA.


⚽ The match

The derby got off to a scrappy start, with Corinthians even having more shots.

But Timão's forwards did not have their shooting boots on, and goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão was barely troubled.

The home side's best chance was a shot from Matheus Bidu that went just wide of the post.

Santos, meanwhile, had a very active Neymar stepping up and taking responsibility.

The star wearing the No. 10 shirt had already provided an assist for Gabriel Barbosa to dribble past Hugo Souza, but the forward was offside and the goal was ruled out.

However, right after that, Neymar hit the post from a free kick, and Oliva — who had come on a few minutes earlier to replace the injured Gustavinho — pounced on the rebound and put Peixe ahead on the scoreboard.

After the break, Corinthians continued to show little attacking threat.

The best chance to equalize came when Dieguinho latched onto a loose ball from a corner taken by Memphis Depay, but Brazão saved it comfortably.


🚦 Standings update

The historic win at Neo Química Arena took Santos to 29 points and up to 14th place in the table.

Corinthians, meanwhile, remained in 10th place with 32 points.

Timão will not play again until next Sunday (6), when they host Chapecoense at NQA in the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

Peixe, meanwhile, face Palmeiras at Vila Belmiro on Wednesday (2), needing to overturn the 3-0 first-leg deficit in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Copa do Brasil.

In the Brasileirão, Santos visit Internacional next Sunday (6) at Beira-Rio.
