Santos drew 1-1 with their host Internacional in the match held in Porto Alegre, as part of the Brazilian league competition. The match saw the absence of the team's star Neymar due to a knee injury, which affected Santos' attacking performance, resulting in their failure to secure a win that would have improved their position in the standings.

With this result, the Santos team remains in the relegation zone, putting the team under great pressure with only three rounds left until the end of the season. "Peixe" occupies the sixteenth place, trailing by just one point behind the Vitória team, which is positioned ahead of them in the survival spot, making the upcoming matches even more challenging.

The remaining three matches for Santos are considered crucial in determining the team's fate in the first division league, as they will face the teams Sport Recife, Juventude, and Cruzeiro.

Coach Voivoda's team must achieve positive results in these matches to avoid relegation to the second division, which requires the team to give their best in the final stages of the tournament.
