With a team little connected in the match, Odair Hellmann found no alternatives and the elimination ended up becoming something inevitable.

Santos’ first half was dark. Without finding offensive solutions, the defense did not find either. Thus, it didn’t take long for Ituano to open the scoring. After a big mistake by Joaquim, Claudinho took advantage and made it 1-0.
The expectation was that Santos would return a little more balanced for the second half, but that did not happen. So much so that Ituano even managed to make it 3 to 0. Eduardo Person made a great move and made a great pass to Quirino. The attacker beat Maicon in speed and hit Maicon on the way out. With that, the alvinegra elimination was confirmed.
With the defeat to Ituano, Santos ended its participation in the Paulista Championship with the third place in group A. Thus, Peixe was left out, once again, of the elimination phase of the most disputed state in Brazil. After the game, alvinegra’s frustration with the result turned out to be great.
