A good part of the Santos fans at Vila probably didn’t even see what happened on the field.
It took just 18 seconds for Universidad Central to open the scoring against Peixe on Tuesday night (28).
It’s the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana round-of-16 playoffs after Santos won 4-1 in Venezuela.
Santos took the kickoff.
And a poor back pass by the Argentine center-back left Samuel Sosa with an easy chance.
He went one-on-one with Gabriel Brazão and showed plenty of class.Â
Santos still have the advantage, though, leading 4-2 on aggregate.
Peixe responded well after the goal and then started giving the Venezuelan team far too much space.
They lacked the finishing touch to level it, even as they kept piling up chances.
Then Miguelito got the ball on the right, drove forward, and Schiavone made it count (38').
Cuca rested some starters, including Neymar, with the rest of the season in mind.Â
Igor Vinicius, Lucas VerÃssimo, and Gabriel Bontempo also started on the bench. Â
Whoever goes through will face Ecuador’s Macará in the round of 16.Â
