At Barradão, Santos defeated Vitória 1-0 this Sunday (25th), in the tenth round of the 2025 Brasileirão.
This was only Peixe's second win in the competition. The first was on 04/16, against Atlético-MG (2-0), at Vila Belmiro.
The first half was lively, with chances for both teams.
Guilherme missed an unbelievable goal, but redeemed himself with a beautiful header before the 20-minute mark.
Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão was, once again, one of Santos' standout players, making important saves.
For Leão da Barra, Renato Kayzer had the chance to equalize right after the score was opened, but his header went wide.
Just like against CRB in the Copa do Brasil last week, Neymar came onto the field at the start of the second half.
The number 10 star, in fact, did not have an easy time in the tackles.
Rollheiser had the chance to extend the lead, but his rocket from the edge of the box smashed against the red-and-black post.
Vitória pressed, had a great chance with a missile from Léo Pereira, but Brazão saved it.
The final minutes were full of pressure from the hosts, but the score remained unchanged.
With the win, Santos reached eight points and moved up to 18th place. Vitória, meanwhile, remained with nine points, opening the relegation zone (17th position).
Peixe returns to the field on Wednesday (28th), in a friendly against RB Leipzig.
In the Brasileirão, Santos' next match is on Sunday (1st), when they host Botafogo at Vila Belmiro, for the 11th round.
Leão da Barra, who plays next Wednesday (28th) against Universidad de Quito in the last round of the Conmebol Sudamericana group stage, visits Corinthians on Sunday (1st) in the Brasileirão.
