RIO DE JANEIRO knock off oakley sunglasses, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Two goals from Neymar and one from Paulo Henrique Ganso gave Santos a 3-0 victory in the first leg of Brazil's Campeonato Paulista final on Sunday.
Ganso opened the scoring in the 42nd minute at Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium with a thunderous first-time strike from outside the area.
The Brazil No. 10 looked set to double Santos' lead when he dribbled goal ward only to lose possession while trying to round goalkeeper Emerson. Ganso's national teammate Neymar ran onto the loose ball and fired a low shot into an empty net to make it 2-0.
Neymar then sealed the result with an 18m drive in injury time - his fifth goal in the past two matches.
Guarani needs to score at least three goals in next Sunday's second leg to take the championship decider into extra-time.
In Rio de Janeiro, Fluminense also moved to within touching distance of the Campeonato Carioca after two second-half goals from Rafael Sobis helped the team to a 4-1 victory over 10-man Botafogo.
Renato opened the scoring for Botafogo in the eighth minute before former Lyon striker Fred equalized with a spectacular bicycle goal two minutes before half-time.
The match turned 11 minutes after the restart when Lucas was dismissed after a second yellow card for a crude tackle from behind on Thiago Neves.
Sobis put the result beyond doubt with two goals in eight minutes before Marcos Junior made it 4-1 seven minutes from time.
Fluminense midfielder Deco, who provided a superb through-ball for Sobis to make it 2-1, warned the championship was far from over.
"There is still a long way to go," the former Porto foakleys, Barcelona and Chelsea star said.
"Apart from the first 10 minutes we played a fantastic game today.It's a good advantage going into next Sunday but nothing is decided."
