The truth is that, despite individual mistakes, Peixe showed a lot of grit to seek, in the scenario that presented itself, an unlikely point in Pernambuco.

In the beginning of the game, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão made a huge mistake on the exit of the ball, and Derik Lacerda opened the scoring for Leão.

O QUE FOI ISSO, GOLEIRÃO!

Brazão's blunder shook the Santista team, which, by little, did not take the second goal still in the first half.

To make matters worse, after reviewing the VAR, Tomás Rincón received a red card for a foul on Derik Lacerda and left Santos with one less player on the field.

After the interval, Sport had a goal disallowed for Ramírez's offside, but managed to extend with Lucas Lima, who ensured the "ex's law" of the night.

But, as said, in a very aggressive manner, Santos launched itself into the attack in search of the tie.

First, Neymar activated Tiquinho Soares, who made the pivot and gave the assist for Gabriel Bontempo to discount.

And, in the final minutes, a ball raised in the area, the Leão defense badly cleared, and João Basso filled the foot to decree the tie.

With one less, Santos pressed for the turnaround and even got upset with the final whistle.

Provocations to Neymar

Sport's fans prepared the distribution of masks of actress Bruna Marquezine, Neymar's ex-girlfriend, to provoke the Santos star.

The masks were even prohibited from going to the stands for, theoretically, compromising safety.
