سانتوس مقابل ار بی براگانتینو

Santos returned to winning ways with a commanding 2-0 victory over Red Bull Bragantino at Vila Belmiro on Sunday, ending a painful seven-game winless streak. Neymar's clinical counter-attack finish just before the break set the tone for a dominant home performance. The opener arrived in first-half stoppage time when Gabriel Bontempo slipped Neymar through on the break, and the Brazilian converted without fuss. Bragantino grew increasingly frustrated, picking up four yellow cards, Lucas Barbosa (6'), Isidro Pitta (15'), Gabriel (44'), and Alix (74'), while rarely troubling the home defence. Adonis Frías sealed it in the 75th minute with a composed right-footed finish from a set-piece move. The three points are a genuine lifeline for Santos, who had been sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone heading into Round 15. For Bragantino, who arrived off back-to-back wins with mid-table momentum, it is a sobering reality check.
