When is Santos vs. Corinthians?
Santos will host Corinthians at Estadio Vila Belmiro on Wednesday, July 13th (7:30 p.m. Peruvian time), for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. 'Peixe' is obligated to win by a difference of five goals to advance to the next round.
The first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 is underway, and last Wednesday saw Corinthians' resounding 4-0 victory over Santos at Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo. The 'Timão' celebrated the victory with their fans, and Adson dared to show off his skills during the match, but that earned him a hard foul.
The 21-year-old midfielder had entered the match in the 69th minute, with the intention of continuing to threaten the opposing area. Precisely, as a result of coach Vítor Pereira's planning, Giuliano scored in the 77th minute, setting the score at 4-0.
Santos were down to ten men at that moment due to the expulsion of Vinicius Zanocelo, and therefore the team tried to defend at all costs. The 'Peixe' players were frustrated by the abrupt defeat, and when the regulation time expired, young Angelo Gabriel lost control, considering that there was provocation from his opponent.
Corinthians midfielder Adson performed some fancy moves and decided to retreat when he couldn't find any spaces, but he was unable to move as he received a rough tackle from his opponent. The 17-year-old 'Alvinegro' forward quickly distanced himself from the scene after committing the foul, while referee Marcelo de Lima showed him a yellow card.
The injured Corinthians player lay in pain on the field, but his actions brought further consequences: he was also confronted by Santos players Bruno Oliveira and Felipe Jonatan. The situation became tense, and there was a big commotion on the field, fortunately without further incidents.
