Santos beat Sao Paulo 2-1

Santos City, Brazil:

Santos captain Ricardinho curled in a 92nd minute free kick to earn his team a 2-1 victory over state rivals Sao Paulo in the Brazilian Championship on Saturday. Danilo had given the visitors to Santos' Vila Belmiro Stadium a 25th minute lead before Deivid equalised just eight minutes later. Sao Paulo, second to Palmeiras in the Championship before Saturday's clash, were not helped by the reckless antics of defender Fabao who managed to get himself booked and sent off, effectively sealing his team's fate.
