Chuva, gramado pesado e um 1 a 1: assim terminou Santos x Bahia na Vila Belmiro, neste sábado (24), pelo Brasileirão.
O empate saiu de dois lances isolados. Luciano Juba acertou um chute seco da entrada da área, aos 38 da primeira etapa. Na volta do intervalo, a vez foi de Luan Peres: desvio de cabeça em cobrança de escanteio já nos acréscimos.
No meio disso tudo, mais um capítulo da novela Neymar. O árbitro Savio Pereira Sampaio mostrou o vermelho ao camisa 10 antes de a segunda etapa começar, punindo o gesto de cobrir a boca durante a discussão com Rodrigo Nestor.
Na tabela, o Peixe aparece com 46 pontos; o Bahia tem 50. Na rodada seguinte, o Santos fica em casa contra o Palmeiras, às 19h30 de Brasília, e o Bahia visita o São Paulo na Fonte Nova, às 21h30.
O começo até prometia, com chances de lado a lado. Com a água acumulada, porém, o nível desabou, os dois times apelaram para ligações diretas e a bola passou a viver no ar.
Cuca tentou corrigir no intervalo: Rony e João Schmidt nas vagas de Coutinho e Bontempo. Não deu tempo de reorganizar nada — veio a expulsão, e o Peixe passou a jogar com um a menos.
Sem atacante alto, a saída foi empilhar bolas na área. O prêmio chegou no fim, com o cabeceio de Luan Peres depois de escanteio cobrado por Rollheiser.
Ficha técnica — Vila Belmiro. Público: 14.656. Renda: R$ 500.270,00. Árbitro: Sávio Pereira Sampaio (DF), auxiliado por Bruno Raphael Pires (GO) e Acácio Menezes Leão (PA). Amarelos: Neymar, Acevedo e Kanu. Vermelho: Neymar. Gols: Luciano Juba e Luan Peres.
