Neymar celebrated early because he thought he had scored the equalizer. |
In the round of 16 of the Brazilian National Championship, Santos was trailing 1-2 to Internacional until the first minute of extra time. Neymar and his teammates were forced to put all their efforts into attacking to find an equalizer. At that time, the former Barcelona star thought he had scored.
After a cross was blocked, Neymar fired a left-footed half-volley towards goal. Internacional goalkeeper Sergio Rochet made a brilliant save to prevent the ball from hitting the crossbar. The ball then looked like it was slowly rolling over the goal line.
The home crowd cheered as if their team had scored, and Neymar ran to celebrate with the fans. In his joy, the 33-year-old striker kicked the corner flag so hard that it broke. He almost took off his shirt to celebrate, but realized that Rochet had grabbed the ball and the match continued.
Neymar threw up his arms in despair and collapsed, while the fans still believed he had scored, even though the referee did not count it. The Brazilian league uses VAR and the final decision remained unchanged. Internacional held on to win 2-1.
Neymar's return to his homeland after a difficult time in Saudi Arabia has not gone as smoothly as expected. The Brazilian star has scored 4 goals in 17 matches in all competitions this season, while also providing 3 assists.
Santos are currently 17th, in the relegation zone, with just 14 points from 15 games. Last month, Neymar was sent off for deliberately pushing the ball into the net with his hand.
