Hyan tears away down the right but his touch lets him down slightly, allowing a Leipzig defender to get back and block his attempted shot.
All of the changes on both sides have affected things a bit here and they're both struggling for rhythm.
The Leipzig talisman is on the bench after being taken off and now has an ice pack strapped to his right ankle.
More new faces on both teams.
A nicely worked goal as Santos work the ball out to the left. It's crossed low into the middle, where Hyan is unmarked to tap in from close range.
The Dutchman makes it 3-0 with a first-time shot from around 10 yards out that deflects off a defender and bobbles in.
After a quiet few minutes, Leipzig score again. Nusa receives the ball wide on the right and cuts it back into the middle for Openda, who strokes into the net from 10 yards out.
Leipzig are still hogging possession, Santos happy to sit back and soak up the pressure.
Xavi draws a cheer of approval from the crowd as he shows off some of his tricks, including standing on top of the ball.
Wholesale changes on both sides as we get under way again.
There appears to be little danger when Ze Ivaldo receives the ball in a central position, about 35 yards out. He smashes a low, swerving effort at goal that beats Vandevoordt but hits the base of the post!
The Dutch attacker pops up on the left-hand side of the box again. He tries to take on his marker but the ball goes out for a goal kick.
Xavi wins a free-kick about 30 yards out. Raum takes it again and again floats it towards the back post. This time Baumgartner is there, but his first-time cross-shot goes wide of the upright.
Neymar is at the heart of all of Santos' attacks and he creates a scoring chance out of the blue, pinging a long ball from the left over Bitshiabu and into the path of Tiquinho, who squeezes a shot at goal from an angle that Vandevoordt saves.
Neymar spies Vandevoordt a long way off his line and launches a speculative effort from inside his own half. The goalkeeper scurries back into his box and casually controls the ball with his foot before passing to a teammate.
Santos' patience almost pays off as Leipzig lose possession near the centre circle. The home side pounce and immediately sprint forward with four or five players. They get into the box but Bitshiabu comes across and pokes away the danger.
The crowd murmurs as Neymar receives the ball wide on the left and immediately sets off on one of his trademark dribbles, jinking this way and that. He makes good headway but his diagonal pass into the box isn't precise enough for a teammate, and Leipzig clear.
Only a friendly? Someone clearly forgot to tell Baumgartner, who tirelessly sprints and harries the Santos defence as they try to build from the back, annoying the defenders and forcing them to lose possession.
Xavi receives the ball on the left from a short corner and he's given time and space to shimmy into the box and shoot. His effort takes a deflection and sails into the net.
Xavi sends Openda away done the left and his change of pass outfoxes his marker. His attempted cross to Seiwald in the middle is blocked though.
He's been quiet so far but the Santos talisman pops up on the left to take a free-kick. The box is crowded but he aims a curler towards the far corner and only narrowly gets his calculations wrong as the ball whistles wide of the far post.
Xavi threads a pass into the Austrian midfielder inside the box. He feints to shoot and then scurries around the outside of his marker before attempting a chip over the goalkeeper with his left foot. He gets the execution wrong though, and it's a comfortable save.
The Belgian sprints away from his marker to get to a long ball first. He's around the left-hand corner of the penalty area as he cuts inside onto his favoured right foot but his attempted shot is well blocked by a defender.
Leipzig are stroking the ball around comfortably in midfield, with Santos happy to let them have it. The Brazilian side only start to show an urgency to regain the ball once their visitors advance 10 yards or so into their half.
Xavi is brought down about 30 yards from goal in a central position. A free-kick is given and the playmaker looks set to have a pop at goal, but instead Raum floats a hopeful cross towards the back post, which Santos clear.
The home side string together some passes and find space down the right. A cross is delivered into the middle but Bitshiabu hoofs clear.
Santos get the ball rolling!
There are pre-match fireworks, photos and national anthems so kick-off is going to be a couple of minutes later than scheduled.
The players are limbering up out on the pitch. We'll be up and running soon.
Having met up off the field earlier in the day, Xavi and Neymar will be on opposite sides of the pitch as both start today's friendly.
João Paulo - Chermont, Ze Ivaldo, Luisão, Escobar - Bontempo, Rollheiser, Thaciano, Barreal - Neymar, Tiquinho
Vandevoordt - Nedeljkovic, Orbán, Bitshiabu - Nusa, Kampl, Seiwald, Raum - Baumgartner, Xavi - Openda
The Bundesliga stars got involved at a local training pitch, tried the local cuisine and had time for some football of their own on their summer tour of Brazil.
Leipzig will be back at Red Bull Bragantino's Cicero De Souza Marques stadium on Wednesday as they become the first German team to play a match in Brazil in 25 years. They face Santos - once Pelé's club and now featuring Neymar - with kick-off at midnight (going into Thursday morning) German time.
The Leipzig and Germany defender shares his impressions of Brazil and football in the South American country.
Löw also gave a potential explanation for the direction of Leipzig's recruitment for this summer:" We need to freshen up the squad. We want to add leaders and key players to the team. It's important that we find a good mix of talented and experienced players. We fell apart too often during tough times last season and threw away leads too easily."
Leipzig's time in São Paulo came to an end on Monday as the team departed for Atibaia, where they will spend the rest of their tour. There, the club will use the facilities of partner Red Bull club, Red Bull Bragantino.
Leipzig completed their final evening in São Paulo with a samba workshop where the players had the opportunity to show off some of their best moves.
