Despite taking the final victory, the coastal team saw Água Santa open the scoring just four minutes into the first half, with a beautiful goal from Davi. However, at a disadvantage on the scoreboard, Santos took control of the match and achieved a turnaround before the break, with goals from Enzo Monteiro, in the 12th minute, and Miguelito, in the 34th. Eight minutes later, Peixe increased their advantage, with Thiago Balieiro at 42.
After the rest stop, Santos reached the fourth, with Gabriel Bontempo in the first minute. At 14, Água Santa still managed to score with Luiz Eduardo, but from then on the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.
Verdão eliminated
The most surprising result of the day was the elimination of current champions Palmeiras. In the match played at Arena Barueri, debutant Aster Itaquá counted on Jean Tadeu's eye for goal to win and advance in the Copinha.
The highlight of the match was goalkeeper Vinícius Chacon, who made numerous saves at the crucial moment of the match. Now Aster Itaquá faces Atlético Guaratinguetá in the next stage.
