Adonis celebrates equaliser, says Santos don't deserve to struggle | OneFootball

Santos drew with Fortaleza, 1-1, on Saturday afternoon, during the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. Adonis Frías scored the equalizing goal for Peixe, who were trailing after a goal by Bareiro, at Vila Belmiro. The defender celebrated the goal but expressed frustration about the team's situation, as they continue to fight against relegation.

“I'm happy for the goal. The truth is we wanted the three points, it was important for us. We didn't play well in the first half, but we were better in the second. We need to win, a tough sequence is coming, but we are ready. Now we have all the players available. We hope to start winning to get out of there (near the relegation zone). Santos doesn't deserve to be there,” he said to Premiere.

Fortaleza opened the scoring at 34 minutes of the first half, with Bareiro. The tricolor team scored another at 38, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside. Santos, with the return of Neymar, sought the equalizer after the number 10 entered the game and participated in the goal play.

Santos' Situation in the Brazilian Championship

Santos couldn't take advantage of the third-worst visitor in the Brasileirão and only gained one point with Fortaleza, remaining in 16th position. Peixe could have opened a four-point lead from the relegation zone, but now they have only two more than Vitória, who are at the top of the relegation zone.
