Football was not bad as in other matches, but Santos debuted with a defeat in the Brazilian Championship. The São Paulo team lost 1-0 to Grêmio this Sunday (16)
The match was held in Caxias do Sul, at the Juventude stadium.
Santos had good moments in the first half and could have opened the scoring. Marcos Leonardo had a great opportunity when he came out in front of the goalkeeper, but Adriel managed to save it.
The entry of Soteldo still in the initial stage, in place of the injured Lucas Barbosa, gave the Paulistas a play from the bottom line, although the crosses were inefficient.
Unexpectedly, defender Messias managed to score well against Uruguayan Luis Suárez (this would change in the final stage) and Grêmio demanded goalkeeper João Paulo only in shots from the edge of the area. But that was exactly how the tricolor from Rio Grande do Sul took the lead in the 43rd minute, when lateral João Pedro hit the left corner to score the first goal of the match.
The home team could have extended the score at the start of the second half, but Suárez took a penalty over the top. The Santos response came in the next move, with a header by Eduardo Bauermann, which provoked a great defense by Adriel.
In the final six minutes of regular time, striker Bruno Mezenga, Água Santa’s top scorer in the Campeonato Paulista, entered the field to play his first match for Santos. He signed on loan until the end of the year. Seconds later, Soteldo was sent off for receiving a second yellow card.
Next Thursday (20), the alvinegro will host Audax Italiano (CHI), for the Copa Sudamericana.
