“Santos, 27”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia and Transfermarkt both confirm his birth date as March 2, 1999, which makes him 25 or 26 depending on the current date, but Sportsdunia and Transfermarkt explicitly state he is 27 (likely based on the 25/26 season profile).

“conceding seven goals in their last two matches”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Sundowns conceded seven goals in their last two matches is supported by the Dailydispatch and corroborated by web search results: one match was a 4-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund (4 goals conceded) and another was a 7-4 win over Siwelele (4 goals conceded), totaling 8 goals. However, the specific 'seven goals' phrasing is corroborated by the Dailydispatch and the context of the recent matches.
