João Schmidt, with a header, scores the goal of the 1-0 victory in the classic valid for the sixth round of the Campeonato Paulista
With Neymar’s presence in Vila Belmiro, Santos didn’t worry about Corinthians and won Wednesday’s classic (7) 1-0. In another great performance, João Schmidt, with a header, took advantage of Otero’s cross to score the first goal with the Santos shirt and confirm the victory in this sixth round of the Campeonato Paulista. However, Timão remains in crisis, bottom of Group C, with only three points, in the relegation zone.
With this result, Santos has achieved five wins in six matches and easily leads Paulistão’s Group A. At the same time, Peixe is the isolated leader of the general classification.
Coach António Oliveira has not yet been officially appointed, Corinthians was led by Thiago Kosloski, an assistant hired on the recommendation of Mano Menezes and who will remain at the club. However, he failed to avoid the team’s fifth consecutive defeat. Furthermore, goalkeeper Cássio completed 700 matches for Corinthians in the classic played in Vila Belmiro.
The game
Santos was much superior in the first phase. Encouraged by the fans, Peixe advanced the marking, exchanged quick passes and managed to get Corinthians involved. From a set piece, Otero takes a corner and João Schmidt opens the scoring in the 22nd minute. Furthermore, the home team could have taken a bigger lead in the second half. On the other hand, Timão produced little and center forward Pedro Raul barely touched the ball.
After the break, Santos maintained their dominance in the first 10 minutes, but the team slowed down and Corinthians started to enjoy the match more. But Peixe also faced the greatest danger. With a ball launched into the area, Aderlan covers goalkeeper Cássio and the ball hits the crossbar before going away. Santos tried to control the result in the final minutes and had a scare in injury time. With good chances, the visitors forced goalkeeper João Paulo to make two great saves. The first was a free kick taken by Matías Rojas and the second was a shot from outside the box by Garro. However, the score of 1-0 prevailed until the final whistle.
