PERFORMANCE: Red cards damage Santos’ performance in defeat; see notes

Nothing went right for Santos in their 3-0 defeat against São Paulo, in a match valid for Paulistão’s eighth round. In addition to the rain, which was already hampering the team’s performance, the expulsions of Lucas Pires, on 20′ of the first half, and of João Lucas, on 10′ of the second half, buried any chance of victory for Peixe in the classic. Look at the notes!

João Paulo – Score: 5.5 / Although it’s not his fault, Calleri scored poorly.

João Lucas – Rating: 3.5 / He was playing a regular game, until he was sent off for rough play at the start of the second half. He had already passed unscathed for a hard foul committed in the first half. I can’t say it was bad luck.

Maicon – Note: 5.0 / The ball went over him for the first goal. He wasn’t directly responsible for Calleri’s header, but he could have gone up with him to make the Argentine’s move more difficult.

Eduardo Bauermann – Score: 5.5 / As much as possible, he protected the Santos defense from defeat. He played in the heart of defense and on the left wing without compromising.

Lucas Pires – Note: 3.0 / With the team already behind, he conceded a penalty and left the team one down by locking the submission with his arm. The miss didn’t even prevent the goal, as the charge was converted. All this with just 20 minutes of play.

Dodi – Notes: 5.5 / Even with the team at a distance, he tries to dominate the team’s midfield once again. The expulsions have frustrated this expectation.

Camacho – Rating: 5.0 / Calleri’s goal failed, his goal partner, who went off at half-time because he was yellow and red.

Ângelo – Note: 5.0 / He sacrificed himself after Lucas Pires’ nonsense. In just over 20 minutes of play, he struggled with the heavy pitch.

Lucas Braga – Notes: 5,5/ He had the task of closing the right flank of the defense to mark Welington and attack the rear, but with the expulsions he limited himself to closing the corridor.

Marcos Leonardo – Rating: 5.5 / He was the most dangerous player in Santos’ attack, even when the team had one less. Your frustration is understandable.

Mendoza – Notes: 5,5 / Together with Marcos Leonardo, he tried to worry the San Paolo defense even when they were outnumbered. He could also be dropped in the first half in a try defended by Rafael.

Nathan – Note: 5.0 / Enter lost on the right side, wrong positioning. He got a stupid yellow card for killing a counterattack that he failed at.

Vinícius Balieiro – Note: 5.0 / Entered half-time to replace Camacho. He was damaged by the sending off of João Lucas at the start of the second half.

Messias – Note: 5.0 / Entered defense after João Lucas was sent off. He just had to avoid a rout – and even so, he nearly committed a penalty with a ball hitting his hand.

Rwan Seco – Notes: 7.0 / He came on more to score than to attack. He still managed to score a goal, in a penalty that he himself conceded.

Lucas Barbosa – Notes: 5.0 / He couldn’t keep up with Marcos Leonardo’s level in attack.

Odair Hellmann – Note: 5.0 / His team suffered heavily from the red cards and suffered from a short squad. However, his team was already distanced even before Lucas Pires was sent off.
