Match Recap

Santos trailed inside four minutes and had every reason to fold, but Fluminense couldn't hold on. Rodrigo Castillo put the hosts ahead early at the Maracana, only for Gabriel Barbosa to level five minutes into the second half and Philippe Coutinho to complete the turnaround just five minutes later, turning a 1-2 Santos win into the kind of Serie A result that reshapes a table. Santos climb to 42 points in ninth with a form line now reading LDWWW, while Fluminense slip to fourth on 51 despite three wins in five. The head-to-head tilted their way too, Fluminense having lost neither of the last two meetings before this one. None of this match's scorers sit among Serie A's top ten, where Kaio Jorge's 28 goals remain untouched, but Barbosa and Coutinho needed no help from the charts to sink the hosts. Watch Coutinho's 54th-minute strike that completed the comeback and turned Fluminense's bright start into a long night at home.
