A 0-0 draw against Macará in Ambato, Ecuador, last Thursday earned Santos $700,000 (3.6 million reais) and a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana.
The total amount includes $700,000 paid by the organizers of the competition, according to figures disclosed by the Paulista club.
Le premier match, disputé le 15 août dernier à Vila Belmiro, s'est terminé 2‑1 en faveur de Santos, assurant l'avance nécessaire pour la qualification.
Rony a écopé d'une suspension d'un match, le tenant exclu du duel à venir contre Mirassol dimanche prochain.
On Sunday, Santos will face Mirassol at the city's municipal stadium, a decisive match for the club to distance itself from the red zone of the Brazilian championship.
Après le match nul, Rony a déclaré : « Nous sommes plus forts grâce à notre supporters », soulignant l'importance du soutien des fans.
The 3.6 million reais strengthen Santos' budget for the rest of the season, covering costs linked to national and continental competitions.
Santos will face Atlético-MG in the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, scheduled for September 2.
