How the match went

The first half between Corinthians and Santos was marked by few chances, especially on the Corinthians side, which failed to trouble goalkeeper João Pedro. The team from Baixada Santista, meanwhile, had a bit more presence in the attacking half, forcing just one save from Matheus Corrêa in the opening 45 minutes. Unlike the first half, the second half began in frantic fashion, with both teams, needing the result, pushing forward more often.

Right at the start, Corinthians nearly scored an own goal after a poor back pass from center-back Levy Dias to goalkeeper Matheus Corrêa. Shortly afterward, the Black-and-Whites built a move down the left side. Vitinho Dourado dummied the ball, João received it near the byline on the left and played a low cross to Luizinho. Wearing the No. 11 shirt, face-to-face with the goalkeeper, he sent his shot wide!

After that, Santos piled up a sequence of attacking moves, forcing good saves from Matheus Corrêa, one of them after a shot by Nadson from outside the box. Shortly later, Dodô was played in on the right wing, made an individual move and was brought down in the box, but nothing was given. In the meantime, coach William Batista made six changes to the Sons of Terrão: Guilherme Pires, Lucca Vaz, Pedro Thomas, Dodô, Christian Oliveira and Rodrigo came on for João Vitor ‘Jacaré’, Joãozinho, Caraguá, Vitinho Dourado, Guilherme Pellegrin and Luiz Fábio ‘Favela’, respectively.

After the lively start to the second half, the match slowed down again and both teams became less willing to take risks in attack. When the clock hit 45 minutes, four more minutes were added. At 49, full-time: Corinthians 0 x 0 Santos.
