Seeking to put an end to the nervousness and anguish of the stands, Santos entered the field wanting a quick goal. Muricy Ramalho's men believed that, under pressure, Peñarol would open up. Pure deception. Despite good moves and inspired moves by Ganso, who hit great passes, he missed the right shot. The numbers for the first 45 minutes confirmed Santos' dominance. Peixe had 67% possession of the ball, against 33% of its rival. There were eight shots to the Uruguayan goal, against just one of the carboneros.
The first dangerous move came from outside Elano's area, which demanded great defense from Sosa. Neymar also had a chance, after Ganso's precious pass, but he broke. The Santos star was always surrounded by three players. He waddled from side to side without being able to open the space. As time went by and the goal did not come, Pacaembu murmured, apprehensive. Leo also had an opportunity to invade the area, with the goalkeeper beaten, and miss the target. Durval, twice in his head, also threatened. Sosa also shone in Elano's free kick from the edge of the area.
Peñarol, technically limited, was limited to blocking the opponent's attacks. He held Santos, trying to fit a counterattack, which did not come at all in the first stage. So, the game got lukewarm. The fish withered, lost the rhythm and started to miss some passes, Arouca, mainly.
But who said it would be easy? It was the final of the Libertadores Cup. And here comes Arouca, in a wild career. A magic run, a smart table with Ganso, which passed to Neymar, who, at last, let out the scream stuck in the fan's throat in the stands. Only two minutes of play. Neymar, historic. A goal that will be remembered forever by Santos FC. The goal that paved the way for the third championship.
In his box at Pacaembu, Pelé vibrated, revering his successor. In the field, the star player sucked his finger, honoring Mateus, who arrives in November. The son of the Santos idol will be born a continental champion. Hot feet!
The game continued. Clear. There were still many minutes to go. In the stands, they hugged and cried. Couldn't you make the hands run faster? It was not possible. So, the Fish tried to give the cards in the field. But nothing with Santos is easy. Peñarol showed its claws. In an escape on the right, the cross ball deflects in Durval, who tried to hit and enters. It would be possible? As in 2005, when he defended Atlético-PR, in the Libertadores final against São Paulo, Rei do Sertão had scored against.
It was just a fleeting scare. Soon Peixe resumed dominance and even had chances to score more goals. You didn't have to. In the end, a scene that did not need to happen: players from both teams exchanged aggressions on the field, in front of a Military Police that did little to contain the fighters. Nothing, however, that would end the shine of the Fish conquest.
