Santos lost 1-0 to Palmeiras this Wednesday, in the second round of the Campeonato Paulista. Midfielder João Schmidt stated that Peixe deserved a better result at Arena Barueri.
“It leaves a bitter taste. We created chances and had opportunities. We didn’t deserve to leave with this negative result. We could have left with a win or at least a draw. After a defeat in a derby, it’s hard to talk. We wanted the victory. We’re working hard and we really believe in the title. We’re going to fight for the finals,” he told HBO Max.
Santos remains with three points and is currently in eighth place. The top eight teams qualify for the knockout stage. The bottom two teams will be relegated to Série A2.
