The aftermath of Wednesday’s (20) Santos vs. San Lorenzo match was marked by a lot of frustration from Peixe fans at Vila Belmiro. And Gabigol was one of the targets.
Despite scoring Alvinegro’s second goal in the match, the No. 9 was spat at before leaving the pitch.

Santos’ top scorer this season with 10 goals, Gabigol gave an interview before the spitting.
And he lamented that his goal was not decisive:
"It’s sh**, it’s sh** (about the goal). It didn’t mean a f***ing thing. We can’t stay consistent, we end up dropping back, stop playing, give them chances. It’s complicated"
"I could list thousands of reasons why we conceded the equalizer, but we also did some good things. But it’s no use. Like you said, I played well, scored, got an assist, but in the end, it doesn’t mean sh**," he added.Â
The draw for Santos — who had been leading 2-0 — kept the team as the only Brazilian side in both the Sudamericana and Libertadores still without a win.
They are currently bottom of Group D, with four points.
Their only chance is to finish second and, with that, play in the round-of-16 playoff against a third-place team from the Libertadores.
Peixe will need to beat Deportivo Cuenca (six points) at home and also hope Recoleta (five) slip up against San Lorenzo (seven) in Argentina.
Both matches will be played next Tuesday (26), starting at 9:30 p.m. (BrasÃlia time).
