VIDEO: Robinho helps Santos to victory against Sao Paulo with debut goal
Brazil international makes decent start...
By Stefan Coerts
The 26-year-old started Sunday's match against Sao Paulo from the bench, but came on around the hour mark when Santos led 1-0 courtesy of a converted spot-kick from Neymar.
Roger then levelled for Sao Paulo after being set up by Marcelinho Paraiba, but Robinho restored Santos' lead only five minutes before the final whistle.
The Brazilian international picked up the ball inside the area after a cross from the right wing before surprising Sao Paulo goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni with a brilliant back-heel to give Santos the full three points.
