Santos and Chapecoense shared the spoils in a 2-2 thriller that saw the visitors come from behind and then suffer a late equaliser. Chapecoense, despite having only 36% possession and five total shots, nearly stole the win before Neymar's second goal of the game rescued a point for the hosts.
Neymar opened the scoring for Santos in the 36th minute, finishing from Álvaro Barreal's assist. Chapecoense hit back six minutes into the second half through Marcinho, who turned in Giovanni Augusto's pass. João Paulo Ananias then put the visitors ahead in the 62nd minute with an unassisted strike. Just as it seemed Chapecoense would hang on, Neymar popped up in the 89th minute to level the scores.
The statistics paint a clear picture: Santos dominated possession (64%) and outshot Chapecoense 21 to 5, with 7 shots on target to the visitors' 3. Yet Chapecoense's goalkeeper made five saves, and the away side created two big chances to Santos' one. Neymar's brace was the difference, ensuring Santos avoided defeat despite being outplayed on the balance of play.
