CD Macará and Santos SP drew 0-0 in the Copa Sul-Americana, a stalemate decided by organization rather than a breakthrough. The official scoreline never moved at Estadio Bellavista.

Key Moments

Gustavo Henrique's early yellow mattered because it arrived while the match was still open and it encouraged Santos SP to play the first half on the back foot. That helped them reach half-time without conceding.

The corner count was the real swing in territory. Macará had 10 corners and Santos SP had 1. None of those restarts became a goal, which is why a one-sided set-piece night still finished 0-0.

D. Bolanos was booked in the 62nd minute as Macará tried to raise the second half. The caution interrupted that push and let Santos SP settle again.
