Uruguayan side Penarol had a goal by substitute striker Diego Alonso disallowed four minutes from time for offside, a decision shown to be correct by television replays.
Brazil teenager Neymar created the first good chance for Santos when he made a diagonal run into the box and laid the ball off to defender Alec Sandro but his low shot was saved by Sebastian Sosa.
Neymar showed some of the trickery that has made him the most exciting prospect in Brazil but Penarol mostly managed to control his attacking runs.
Santos might have scored with quarter of an hour to go, but striker Ze Eduardo put his free header just wide of the far post from Sandro’s cross.
Penarol’s veteran left back Dario Rodriguez put a lob just over the bar late in the first half in one of the home side’s clearest chances minutes after fellow defender Guillermo Rodriguez headed straight at the keeper.
