Santos x Corinthians is closed before because of bombs on the lawn

After five defeats playing away from home in the Brasileirão, Corinthians won their first victory as a visitor by beating Santos 2-0 in this Wednesday’s classic and relieved the pressure on themselves.

It should return to São Paulo in peace, without further protests from the fans, a day after the delegation did not stay in Santos due to lack of security.

Those who are not relieved are the Santos fans, who made the referee Leandro Pedro Vuaden finish the game ahead of schedulein the 44th minute, after they threw bombs towards the pitch that almost hit goalkeeper Cássio.

The game was stopped for two minutes and then ended. Security guards had to form a cordon of isolation in the center of the lawn, where the Santos players took cover.

In Vila Belmiro, the boy Ruan Oliveira did not score, but he was one of the highlights of the match. Both goals were scored in the first half. They left the feet of Yuri Alberto and the head of Santos defender João Lucas, who scored against. Although it is far from the dreamed position, Corinthians now has 12 points, reacts and is further away from the relegation zone.

Armed to counterattack from the start, Vanderlei Luxemburgo’s team resolved the classic in the first half. He scored two goals in an interval of 11 minutes and then defended himself competently against Santos’ weakened attack, which tried in every way, especially with Mendoza, but did not star in a happy night.

Happy was Yuri Alberto in the 12th minute, when he received Ruan inside the area and poked the ball towards the goal. The number 9, much criticized for the long fasts he starred in, effusively celebrated the goal for the club that revealed him for football.

At 29, Ruan appeared again decisively, proving to Luxemburgo that the bet on the player was right, starting for the first time and free of the many injuries that hindered him and left him three years without playing a single match. The midfielder, who had his contract extended until the end of the year, took a free kick that deflected off João Lucas and saw the ball go in, closing the scoring.

Santos tried on the sides, in the middle and on top. But nothing worked. He even managed to score, with Mendoza, but the Colombian striker adjusted the ball with his arm before finishing, which was confirmed by VAR in the goal review. Soteldo and Marcos Leonardo were also in danger, but the ineffective Santos left the pitch without scoring and booed.

The pressure is now greater on Santos, who haven’t won in the Brasileirão for five matches, parked at 13 points and are closer to those fighting not to fall than the leaders of the tournament.

To make matters worse, the club must suffer punishment as a result of the bombs thrown on the lawn that made referee Leandro Vuaden end the match in the 44th minute.
