First of all, it is important to say that Santos needed a victory to give them peace of mind.
This year has been tough for Santos fans. The results haven't come, the team is far from the Santos tradition.
But dropping to Serie B is too much. Santos is not used to that risk.
Accustomed to great teams and great results, this year is being difficult.
Especially when the fan remembers the generations of Robinho and Diego, and Neymar and Ganso.
If the team wasn't brilliant today, there was no lack of grit
A difficult game, very hard-fought, with a lot of fighting, the players showed their interest in winning.
Despite a lukewarm first half, the goal at the beginning of the second half brought a lot of emotion to the game.
Player Madson scored the winning goal, after an excellent cross from Marcos Guilherme.
The name of the game
There's no denying that the name of the game was João Paulo. What a game from that goalkeeper.
With great saves, the Santos goalkeeper secured the result for the Santos team.
The fans are to be congratulated
The Santos fans were present at the Arena da Baixada. The support from the fans was very important.
Two consecutive victories could bring new enthusiasm for the classic against Palmeiras on Sunday.
Even more so now that he is no longer under so much pressure from the table.
Now you need to keep playing with the same desire, the same determination, and the same focus.
If we don't get good results in the next games, the pressure will be back.
In the same way, if he keeps up good results he could go to the Libertadores. Or does anyone doubt it?
Finally, the Santos team will be able to think about greater achievements than just getting out of the Z4.
Still far from the club's winning tradition, but much better than the current moment.
May the team maintain its good momentum and grow even more in the Brazilian Championship.
