The Brazil international was greeted by dozens of children as he took the field for his last match at the Vila Belmiro stadium before he completes his move to Spanish side Real Madrid.

His teammates lifted him into the air as he celebrated his first goal while he kneeled and kissed the pitch after converting the second.

Santos raced to a 4-0 lead in half hour with Robinho's two penalties and goals by Elton, who fired home a rebound after Ricardinho's shot hit the crossbar, and former Barcelona and Olympiakos midfielder Giovanni.

But the Brazilian champions suffered a fright as struggling Figueirense replied with three goals in 13 minutes after halftime from Cleber, Michel Bastos and Edmundo.

Cleber also hit the crossbar with a header in the 77th minute.

"I'm very happy," said Robinho, who has one more game to play for Santos away to Paysandu on Wednesday.

"I wanted to bid farewell to the Vila with a win."

Santos moved up to fourth in the table with 36 points from 21 games.

Corinthians, who have 39 points, stayed top as the competition reached its halfway stage after a late equaliser gave them a 1-1 home draw against second-placed Goias, who are two points behind.
