The duel under heavy rain ends with a boring 0-0. Peixe fans boo the team after another disappointing match in Serie B
Disappointment in Vila Belmiro for Santos fans. After all, this Saturday (24/8), in the 23rd round of Serie B, the team hosted Amazonas and ended 0-0. The match was played under heavy rain, which compromised the quality of this duel with few chances, the best in the world, the Santos goalkeeper, Brazão. It was also important that Peixe had ten from the 12th minute of the final phase, after Escobar’s expulsion.
The draw takes Santos to 39 points, in second place and one game more than leaders Novorizontino. Amazonas, with 31 points, remains in mid-table, nine points above the relegation zone.
Disappointing first half
Santos played a below-par game in the first 45 minutes. After all, despite looking for attacks with Otero, on the right, and the recent signing Wesley Silva trying to move, the team did not build dangerous attacks. Very different from Amazonas, who were effective on the counterattack and had the two big chances in this phase. In the first, a free kick was well saved by Diego Torres; in the other, a shot from outside the area by Serafim. But both times, goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão made excellent saves.
Santos with one less. And no goal
In the second half, Santos came forward a little awkwardly. But they lost a player at 12 years old. On the counterattack, Serafim suffered a bad foul from Escobar, a kick to the leg. Straight red card for the left back. Then, Amazonas almost scored. Defender Jair fed it to Serafim, who almost scored. The only reason he didn’t was thanks to goalkeeper Brazão, who closed the corner and held the ball. However, despite being behind, Peixe never stopped looking for the equalizer. Then, there was a penalty, then cleared (it was not a handball, as the referee initially thought) and Gil, after a cross into the six-yard box, kicked out. Furch and Guilherme also had their chances. However, the ball didn’t go in. There was play and the fans did not hold back: many whistles.
