  • 39' It’s gonna be a card for Robert.
  • 44' The travelling Santos FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 49' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Santos FC winning 100% of all matches.
