Red Bull Bragantino defeated Santos 2-1 on Monday night at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium in Bragança Paulista, opening the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. All three goals came in the first half.
An own goal by Rodinei put the home side ahead. Philippe Coutinho equalised for Santos, but Wallace Yan scored shortly before the break to secure the win for Bragantino.
The result lifted Bragantino to eighth place with 47 points. Santos also has 47 points but sits ninth, behind Bragantino on the number of wins: 12 to 13. Both teams would qualify for the Copa Sudamericana group stage based on these standings.
