Santos FC banked all three points against the Athletico Paranaense in a 2-0 victory on Wednesday, at Urbano Caldeira. Santos arrived at the match looking to pick up more points after losing their last match 1-0 to Palmeiras. Paranaense, meanwhile, were struggling for form following a draw in their last match. Santos are now in 12th place on the table and have 34 points while Paranaense sit in 6th with 44 points after 28 matches.

It was an impressive opening from Santos, thanks to a goal from Luan in the 35th minute. They then managed to see out the first half 1-0.

Santos continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when Bento found the net just before the final whistle, sealing a 2-0 victory for the home side.

Substitutions for Santos included Luiz Felipe, Lucas Braga, Sandry and Lucas Henrique Barbosa for Maicon, Guilherme Camacho, Carlos Sanchez and Luan, respectively. Paranaense replaced Tomas Cuello, Alex Santana, Vitor Roque, Marlos and Romulo with Vitinho, Hugo Moura, Vitor Bueno, David Terans and Pablo Felipe.
