Santos overcame a challenging first half, marked by an early goal from Macará and injuries to two players, to secure a 2-1 victory in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. Neymar played a crucial role, assisting Gabigol for his 100th Santos goal and later contributing to Willian Arão’s first goal for the club. Despite two disallowed goals for Gabigol due to offside, Santos maintained control and will take a narrow advantage into the second leg. The return match is set for next Thursday, with Santos needing only a draw to advance.
