Part 2/5:
Serginho from Ponte Preta demonstrated persistence with a strong shot that test the Santos defense, yet Diogo Silva was there to deflect it expertly. Escobar made a noteworthy play, sending a cross that narrowly missed its intended targets, before a promising build-up led to Jean Dias striking a shot that just grazed the right side of Brazão's goal post.
Notably, Jean Dias had been a prominent figure in the game, posing a continuous threat to Santos. His efforts paid off when he exploited a lapse in Luan Perez's marking, mastering a well-aimed header that put Ponte Preta ahead. The goal reflected the struggle Santos faced in keeping their defensive line intact against a relentless Ponte attack.
