Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Santos defeated Macará 2-1 in the first leg of the Copa Sul-Americana round of 16 on Thursday at Vila Belmiro. The Brazilian side trailed early after Franco Posse scored for the Ecuadorian team in the opening minutes. Santos equalized in the 44th minute when Neymar provided an assist to Gabigol, who scored his 100th goal for the club. The comeback was completed in the second half with a goal by Willian Arão. Santos now holds a one goal advantage heading into the second leg, which will be played next Thursday in Ambato, Ecuador. A draw in the return match will be sufficient for Santos to advance to the quarterfinals. The match was marked by several interruptions for medical attention, including Neymar, who briefly left the field due to an ankle issue, and Gabriel Menino, who was substituted after an injury to his left leg.
