In yet another “decisive” match to escape the last places in the Brazilian championship, Santos faces Mirassol this Wednesday (19).
And they took the lead just four minutes later, at a pulsating Vila Belmiro, thanks to Neymar and a superb pass from Lautaro Díaz.

Mirassol started well, putting pressure on Santos.
They even managed two consecutive corners.
Just after the second, Lautaro Díaz spotted Neymar.
The number 10 avoids offside by returning to his own half before sprinting forward.
He saw his marker slip and didn’t let the opportunity pass.
His fourth goal at the Brasileirão. The first since August 4.
Santos reaches 39 points, leaving behind Inter (37), who will travel to Ceará this Thursday (19).
Vitória opens the relegation zone with 36 after the draw with Palmeiras at the Allianz.
Meanwhile, Mirassol – who can secure his place with the Libertadores this round – remains with 59 points in fourth place.
