A Three-Goal Margin, Not a Rout

Cruzeiro’s Reply Wasn’t Enough to Level It
A 2-1 result with goals shared between both teams typically means neither side dominated for long stretches. Santos converted their chances when it mattered; Cruzeiro’s single goal shows they were never fully shut out of the match.
