With the triumph away from home, Peixe reached 62 points, opening an eight-point lead over Ceará, the first team outside the G4 (which guarantees access to Series A) with just four rounds remaining until the end of Series B. Now Galo de Itu remains in a complicated situation, occupying 18th position with 34 points.
Santos’ victory began to be built in the 17th minute of the first half, when Guilherme made a deep pass to Serginho, who, inside the area, dominated and poked the ball past goalkeeper Jefferson Paulino. In the 6th minute of the final stage, Guilherme added final numbers to the scoreboard after hitting a cross after receiving it from Wendel Silva.
