The forward Álvaro Barreal lamented Santos’ draw with Bragantino this Sunday, 2-2, in Bragança Paulista, for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Argentine, who scored Santos’ second goal, stated that Peixe was superior to their opponent.
The number 22 put an end to a five-game goal drought. The last time he had found the net was in the victory over Juventude, 3-1, in August.
“The feeling of scoring again is good for gaining more confidence, I needed that individually. But overall, the feeling isn’t great because we played much better than they did. We deserved to come away with all three points, but now it’s time to turn the page and do better on Wednesday against Grêmio,” said Barreal in the mixed zone at Estádio Municipal Cícero de Souza Marques.
The forward scored his sixth goal of the season and equaled Neymar as the third top scorer for Santos this season. In total, Barreal has played 23 matches this season.
Peixe has now gone four games without losing, but still remains in the lower part of the table. The team ends the round in 16th place, with 27 points, five fewer than Juventude, the first team in the Z4. Bragantino, meanwhile, sits in ninth place with 32 points.
