📹 Santos thrashed by Mirassol, could end the round in the drop zone
After the euphoria of the victory over Flamengo in the last round, Peixe played a poor game again.
In the first half, the team led by coach Cléber Xavier barely troubled goalkeeper Walter.
Mirassol, on the other hand, gave goalkeeper Brazão a lot of work, as in Gabriel's beautiful first-time shot and also in Lucas Ramon's finish in the small area.
After the break, the hosts' dominance translated into goals.
After a corner kick and a deflection at the first post, Da Costa (23') finished almost under the crossbar to open the scoring for Mirassol.
Next, Carlos Eduardo crossed from the right, and left-back Reinaldo appeared as a center forward in the area to extend the lead.
Neymar - Santos' big name and author of the winning goal against Flamengo - did not perform well in his second consecutive match.
Due to repeated injuries, the last time Neymar played two full games in a row was in 2023, for Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia.
In extra time, Alesson made a CARNIVAL on the sideline over the Santos marking and served Cristian, who finished in Brazão's corner to put a stylish end to the match.🚦 How it stands
With the result, Mirassol, which has not lost since the seventh round, reached 21 points and moved up to seventh position. Santos remained with 14 points and in 14th place.
The problem is that Internacional (14 points), São Paulo (13 points) and Vitória (12 points) still play in the round and can push Peixe back to the Z-4.
Santos, in fact, returns to the field next Wednesday (23), when it hosts Internacional, at Vila Belmiro, for the 16th round.

Portugal's Joao Felix joins Ronaldo at Al Nassr in Saudi
Portuguese forward Joao Felix has signed a two-year deal with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr, where he will join Cristiano Ronaldo, the club announced Tuesday. Felix, now 25, made a blockbuster move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid in 2019, but has since seen his fortunes decline. "I'm here to spread joy. Let's win together," said Felix in a video posted on the Riyadh club's X account. A separate post said he had signed until 2027. Felix remains one of the most expensive transfers in history, following his move to Atletico for 127.7 million euros ($147.3 million) six years ago. He has since failed to score more than 10 goals a season, despite stints at Barcelona, AC Milan and Chelsea. According to Arryadia, a Riyadh sports newspaper, Felix will earn $10 million a year. Saudi Arabia has shaken up football by spending heavily on stars from Europe, starting with Ronaldo's arrival in 2023, and the conservative desert nation will host the World Cup in 2034. Many of the signings have been ageing stars, but Felix bucks the trend along with Mateo Retegui, 26, the Serie A top-scorer who joined Al Qadsiah last week. French international Theo Hernandez, 27, left AC Milan for Al Hilal in a reported $29 million deal earlier this month. Top coaches have also been lured to Saudi Arabia, including Italy's Simone Inzaghi who led Al Hilal to an upset win over Manchester City at the Club World Cup. At Al Nassr, Felix will be working under Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who was sacked by Al Hilal in May following their defeat in the Asian Champions League semi-finals. ds/th/nf
