Both teams started intensely. Santos succeeded in the opening minutes a good individual game with Neymar, but Juventude did not relieve. The team knew how to mark Santos and, with possession, created opportunities. In the seventh minute, Gabriel Brazão was already taken into action and the Baixada team saved with a Save van Gil.
In the 19th minute, Juventude's pressure turned his fruit. Ênio opened the score after Brazão recovered a shot from Hermes, but the referee ruled the goal for offside.
In the meantime, Santos struggled, especially against the speed and pressure of the opponent. Igor Vinícius even tried a shot, but the team missed defensive composition and organization.
Neymar, the star player of Santos, tried to stand out for the overcrowded Morumbis. He almost shone with an assist for bust, but the ball hit the post. Shortly thereafter the number 10 responded in style.
With braids and a blue sweater, in the 36th minute, Neymar came face to face with the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the back of the net, all under the watchful eye of Carlo Ancelotti, who was present in the stadium. The star was involved from the structure to the finish.
The celebrations of Santos were intensified with the second goal. After he missed an earlier chance, Bureal exchanged itself by exchanging passes with Neymar and scoring, which further expanded Santos' lead.
In response, Juventude quickly withdrew one. Wilker Ángel easily rose from the sky and reduced Santos' lead. The teams went to rest with the score on 2-1.
The second half started with a fear of Santos. Only two minutes inside Ángel went on a shot that forced a good save from Gabriel Brazão. The match remained evenly coordinated, with less intensity and a slower pace compared to the first half.
Warms up things. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Luca Meirelles was brought down in the box by Caíque and the referee awarded a penalty. Neymar took the punishment and took the shot. Celebrating and being embraced by the fans, it was 3-1.
