The Match
Santos opened the scoring with the first shot of the game, at four minutes, from a corner kick.
Barreal lifted the ball into the area and Zé Rafael headed it to score his first goal wearing the Peixe jersey.
The provider of the assist for the 1-0 shone to double the home team's advantage at Vila Belmiro.
Barreal took a shot from outside the area and sent the ball into the top corner, leaving no chance for Felipe Longo, the goalkeeper making his professional debut.
At the start of the second half, Zé Rafael appeared decisively again during a corner kick.
He was brought down in the area by Breno Bidon while the ball was in the air, and the referee awarded a penalty after a VAR intervention.
Rollheiser took the penalty and extended Santos' lead nine minutes into the second half.
