The triumph was important for Galo, who kept the top of the standings with 56 points, 11 ahead of Flamengo, who beat Juventude 3-1 that night. Santos, on the other hand, is on the edge of the relegation zone, in 16th position with 28 points.
After a first half in which they managed to hold the pressure from the hosts, Peixe opened the scoreboard just 3 minutes into the final stage, when Raniel hit hard from the entrance of the area after receiving from Lucas Braga.
However, Galo is very strong playing at home, and it didn’t take long to tie. In the 24th minute, Argentine Nacho Fernández took a penalty perfectly to make everything the same. And five more minutes were enough for the comeback, with Nathan Silva doing head after ball raised in the free-kick area.

And the triumph was enshrined in the 35th minute, in a new penalty kick, again in charge of Nacho Fernández, who, this time saw João Paulo initially defend in a partial way, but who scored on the rebound.
The Brazilian leader returns to the field on Sunday (17), when he visits Atlético-GO. On the same day, Santo goes to Recife to measure forces with Sport.
