If for Santos the triumph meant staying at the top of the table, with the setback, Coelho was in the bottom half, in 13th position with three points.
Peixe’s victory began to be built in the 28th minute of the first half, when Ângelo lifted the ball in the area, where Marcos Leonardo overcame Patric at the top to head in.
The score was only changed again in the final stage, with Vinícius Zanocelo taking advantage of the leftover ball after six minutes. And shirt 25 showed opportunism again in the 32nd minute, when he gave final numbers to the score by taking advantage of another live ball in the area.
