Did it really have to be like this?

Santos started on the front foot.

But they saw their rivals take the lead after just 18 seconds following an error by Frías and a classy finish from Sosa.

Peixe responded well after being caught off guard.

But they kept wasting one chance after another. Gabigol stood out for the wrong reasons.

Then Miguelito showed character and took advantage of a Schiavone mistake to equalize (38').

Cuca turned to Neymar, Bontempo and Veríssimo right at the start of the second half.

Gabigol remained at the center of the action and, after another missed chance, made it 2-1 (56').

Santos’ superior technical quality became even more evident.

And the third came thanks to Gabriel Menino (65').

UCV got their second goal after another Santos mistake, with Mottes scoring with his thigh.

Santos continued to dominate the match.

Rony hit the post, but got his goal in the 94th minute after another run from Bontempo.

The expected qualification came through. Even if not without a few scares.
