Santos 2:2 Chapecoense SC — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Neymar scored twice, including a dramatic 89th-minute equaliser, as Santos snatched a 2-2 draw against Chapecoense in the Brasileiro Série A, setting up a meeting with São Paulo next. The home side dominated the opening half but had only a single goal to show for it.

The game turned in Chapecoense's favour during a frantic second half after Neymar had put Santos ahead in the 36th minute from Álvaro Barreal's assist. Marcinho levelled in the 51st minute from Giovanni Augusto's pass, and João Paulo Ananias put the visitors ahead in the 62nd minute. Santos pushed relentlessly, and after a VAR check in the 88th minute, Neymar rescued a point with a late strike.

Santos utterly controlled the match on the numbers, posting 64% possession, 21 shots to five, and 12 corners to one, but their 1.72 xG against Chapecoense's 0.86 tells the story of a side that dominated without reward until the final minute. Neymar was the standout with a 9.5 rating, scoring both goals as a forward. CheckLive's model rated Santos the clearer side, but the draw proved the prediction incorrect as Chapecoense's efficiency nearly stole the win. Santos now travel to face São Paulo on 29 July 2026.
