Neymar scored, but Santos failed to defeat their opponent

In the early hours of Thursday, November 20, the match of the 34th round of Brazil’s Série A took place between Santos and Mirassol.

Neymar struck just four minutes into the game, putting Santos ahead. However, the hosts couldn’t build on that early lead before the break, and Mirassol also failed to find the net in the first half.

But at the start of the second half, the visitors seized their moment. A lapse in the Santos back line led to a penalty, and Mirassol converted from the spot to level the score. Neither side managed to break the deadlock after that.

Santos couldn’t secure the win, but they remain just outside the relegation zone. After 34 rounds, they have collected 37 points, sitting only one point above the 17th-placed team. Four matches still remain.
