Santos Rout Vasco da Gama 3:0 With Three Goals in 13 Minutes
The hosts put together 19 shots, held 57% of possession, and dictated the opening half territorially — then walked off having lost 0:3. All three away goals landed inside a tight 13-minute window, between the 68th and 81st minutes. On expected goals (xG), the gap was far less dramatic than the final score, 1.91 to 1.04, and per the Bravsen model an outcome like this at that xG split shows up in only about 16% of comparable matches.
Santos 0:2 Atletico Paranaense: Viveros Scored Twice, Santos Hit the Target Twice
In the 14th minute, Kevin Viveros found the right spot in the box, and Santos heard their own net ring for the first time that night.
Botafogo vs Santos 2:1 — A Stoppage-Time Winner Against the xG
Botafogo beat Santos 2-1 despite trailing on expected goals, 2.46 to 2.62. The winner arrived in the 90+5th minute, and the model rates this outcome at roughly 38% probability given that xG split.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the head coach of Santos?
Per the most recently analyzed match (Vasco DA Gama — Santos) — Cuca.
How many players are in Santos's current squad?
35 players: goalkeepers — 5, defenders — 12, midfielders — 11, attackers — 7.
How often do Santos's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 3 matches — average Crime Index 61, with 2 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 0-2 home loss to Atletico Paranaense is Santos's single most anomalous covered match out of 4 reviewed, Crime Index 75% — well above the club's 54% average across those matches. By chance quality, the hosts don't appear to have deserved a scoreline that clean.
An xG shortfall explains part of the picture
Across the 4 matches with calculated xG, Santos generated 7.54 expected goals but scored only 6 — a notable shortfall against the model. A club with this finishing profile regularly lands in games where the quality of play diverges from the scoreline — the Atletico Paranaense loss fits that picture logically.
The average Crime Index is already elevated without that peak
A 54% average across 4 reviewed matches is well above the 40-50% range typical of club football on this site: even setting the Atletico Paranaense loss aside, Santos already looks more volatile than the average Brasileirao club.
