Santos in front
The Peixe's approach was not just about withstanding the opponent's pressure.
They managed to impose their game and opened the scoring thanks to Rollheiser in the 25th minute – Gabigol had already looked dangerous.
And Gabriel Brazão was also decisive in denying Arias before halftime.
Palmeiras paid dearly for their many mistakes.
Reaction, more chances and VAR
Santos had two big counterattacks before the 10th minute of the second half.
They failed to take advantage and then allowed Palmeiras to "find themselves."
And the green-and-white equalizer came after Barreal was dispossessed. Andreas Pereira got his ninth assist and Flaco scored (64').
The intensity remained high.
Paulinho, back after 302 days, was one of Palmeiras' options.
