Fans protest and boo Santos after Inter loss: "Shameless team" | OneFootball

The Santos fans are far from satisfied with the team's performance. On Wednesday night, supporters booed and protested against the team after the 2-1 defeat to Internacional at Vila Belmiro, in the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.

The boos started as early as halftime, when Santos was drawing 0-0 with Inter. After the final whistle, with the defeat sealed at the end, president Marcelo Teixeira and director Alexandre Mattos became targets of criticism from the fans, who shouted: “Hey, Teixeira, go f*** yourself.” The same chant was repeated for the football executive.

Zé Ivaldo was also timidly booed by some fans when he touched the ball at the start of the second half. The defender scored an own goal and opened the scoring for Inter, leaving Santos in trouble as they chased an equalizer.

The squad was not spared from the fans' criticism either, who sang loudly after the end of the match: “Shame, team with no shame.” Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda was also insulted by some supporters as he left the field.

Standings

As a result, Vojvoda ended up being dismissed from his position as coach. Peixe has now gone three games without a win in the Brazilian Championship, with two draws and one loss, and failed to move out of the lower part of the table. The Santos team also dropped to 16th place, with six points.

Now, Santos returns to the field this Sunday, when they face Cruzeiro, also for the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off this Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mineirão, for the eighth round of the national tournament.
