Santos dominate at Itaquera and make history against Corinthians

Santos dominate at Itaquera and make history against Corinthians This Sunday (30), Santos beat Corinthians 1-0 at Neo Química Arena in the 25th round of the 2026 Brasileirão. This is the first time Peixe have beaten Timão in Itaquera in a national league match. Before that, there had been five draws and six wins for the home side at NQA. ⚽ The match The derby started off scrappy, with Corinthians having more shots. But Timão's forwards did not have their shooting boots on, and goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão was hardly troubled. The home side's best chance was a Matheus Bidu effort that went close to the post. Santos, meanwhile, had a very active Neymar taking responsibility. The star No. 10 had already provided an assist for Gabriel Barbosa to dribble past Hugo Souza, but the forward was offside and the goal was disallowed. However, right after that, Neymar hit the post from a free kick, and Oliva — who had come on a few minutes earlier to replace the injured Gustavinho — pounced on the rebound and put Peixe ahead. After the break, Corinthians still offered little attacking threat. The best chance for an equalizer came when Dieguinho got on the end of a loose ball from a Memphis Depay corner, but Brazão saved comfortably. 🚦 Standings The historic win at Neo Química Arena took Santos to 29 points and up to 14th place in the table. Corinthians, meanwhile, stayed in 10th place with 32 points. Timão are back in action only next Sunday (6), when they host Chapecoense at NQA in Round 26 of the Brasileirão. Peixe, meanwhile, face Palmeiras at Vila Belmiro on Wednesday (2), needing to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. In the Brasileirão, Santos visit Internacional next Sunday (6) at Beira-Rio. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here.
