Santos is qualified for the quarterfinals of the São Paulo U-20 Championship. This Friday, the Peixe defeated Corinthians 3-1 at Vila Belmiro, coming from behind, and secured their spot in the next stage of the youth competition. The first leg of the match ended in a goalless draw.

Vojvoda watching closely

The coach of the Baixada Santista team, Juan Pablo Vojvoda, was present at the stadium and watched the match. Some young players from the youth academy who usually train and play for the main team, like JP Chermont and Robinho Junior, 'stepped down' for the U-20 game.

How was the game?

Corinthians took the lead at 20 minutes into the first half, with a stunning goal by Caipira. Santos, however, equalized at 45. Kenay took a long shot and benefited from a deflection along the way that caught goalkeeper Matheus Corrêa off guard.

The goal that turned the game for Santos came at seven minutes into the second half. After a cross into the area, Gustavo Assis set up Matheus Xavier, who finished into the back of the net. Then, at 35, Felipe Laurindo scored the third and sealed the victory.

Next phase
