Sao Paulo, Sep 27: Neymar scored in the first half as Santos of Brazil defeated Universidad de Chile 2-0 on Wednesday to win its first Recopa Sudamericana title by the same score on aggregate.



The teams had drawn 0-0 in the first leg in Chile. The Recopa is played between the champions of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.

Neymar scored from the top of the area after a one-two with striker Andre, who set up his teammate's firm low show into the left corner.

Santos, the 2011 Copa Libertadores champion, scored its second with a header by defender Bruno Rodrigo in the 56th after a free kick cross by playmaker Felipe Anderson.

Neymar also missed a penalty late in the first half.
