Macará and Santos shared a 0-0 draw in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana Round of 16 first leg. The home side controlled much of the contest but could not find a way past Santos' goalkeeper, who made three saves. Santos offered little in attack, failing to register a single shot on target.
The game was goalless, with Macará having 12 shots in total and three on target. They also won seven corners to Santos' one. Gustavo Henrique Pereira was booked in the 11th minute, Denilson Bolanos in the 62nd, and Rony in the 90th as the contest stayed tense but tame.
Macará dominated possession with 56% and doubled Santos' shot count, yet the numbers were not as one-sided — Santos produced 0.57 expected goals to Macará's 0.49. That leaves the tie level ahead of the second leg.
