Santos rescue a thrilling last minute draw against Corinthians at Campeonato Paulista: Highlights and goals (1-1)
Santos rescued a 1-1 draw in the final minute following a brilliant goal from Gabigol, splitting the points with Corinthians in a dramatic edition of the Clássico Alvinegro.
Santos and Corinthians played out a thrilling new chapter of the Clássico Alvinegro at the Vila Belmiro on Matchday 4 of the Campeonato Paulista. In a frantic finish, Gabigol struck a last-gasp equalizer to ensure both sides walked away with a point.
After a cagey opening where neither side managed to create an opening, Yuri Alberto brought the match to life. The forward produced a brilliant individual run, weaving through the Santos defense before being brought down inside the box to earn a penalty for Corinthians.
Yuri stepped up to take the spot-kick himself, but in a shocking turn of events, his effort missed the target, wasting a golden opportunity to take the lead. However, just four minutes later, the striker found his redemption, firing a spectacular long-range strike from outside the area to put Corinthians ahead.
The second half devolved into a heated battle on the pitch, with the referee issuing nine yellow cards as the intensity boiled over and clear-cut chances became scarce. Yet, just as the visitors seemed destined for victory, Gabigol produced a moment of magic, curling in a stunning free-kick in the dying moments to rescue a dramatic draw for Santos.
