AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Santos dominated territorially, holding 64 percent of possession and forcing the pace with 19 shots to Palmeiras' nine, yet Abel Ferreira's side held firm defensively despite spending long spells without the ball.

The home side pushed forward in numbers, winning five corners to Palmeiras' one, but could not turn their territorial advantage into a breakthrough. Referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda booked four players on each side as the contest grew increasingly physical, with 17 fouls committed by the away side, but no dismissals disrupted either team.
Carlos Miguel produced the highest-rated display of the match at 7.37, marshalling Palmeiras' defence to preserve a clean sheet away from home.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Santos 23%, the draw 23%, Palmeiras 54%. It finished Santos 0–0 Palmeiras.
Palmeiras' rating gap outweighs Santos' home ground — Palmeiras are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Palmeiras' 54%. The draw at 23% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Palmeiras at 54%?
Palmeiras sit 273 points higher on our strength rating — 1642 to 1915. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 51.9% of 6,062 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 22–24–54.
Why only 54%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 54% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 23% and Santos at 23%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 23.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,949.
What did we measure but not count?
Palmeiras bring a 3-goal cushion from the first leg (Palmeiras 3–0 Santos) — the aggregate is what counts. Sides in that position pressed on rather than easing off: first-leg winners by three or more won 55.7% of 609 second legs where the class table expected 48.8% — it's the trailing side, here Santos, that tends to go quiet. Santos are missing 3 regular starters — Gabriel Bontempo, João Schmidt, Lucas Veríssimo — about 24% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short.
