In the final round of the Brazilian national championship, Santos host Cruzeiro at home and need a win to determine their own fate.
Despite his injury situation, Neymar started the match. Although he didn't score directly, he contributed to the home team's second goal, with a lofted through ball to Igor Vinicius, who then crossed the ball for Thaciano to double the lead.
In the end, Santos won 3-0 and officially secured their survival in the league. In the final minutes of the match, the Santos coaching staff wanted to substitute Neymar, but the 1992-born star refused. He wanted to fight alongside his teammates until the very last second.

After the match ended, Neymar walked around the stands at the Urbano Caldeira stadium to thank the fans, then hugged each of his teammates and coaching staff. The former Barcelona star couldn't hold back his tears after a memorable season.
Neymar suffered a knee injury and was advised by doctors to undergo surgery at the end of November. However, he refused, despite the risk of missing the World Cup, to lead Santos in the crucial final rounds of the season. The striker, born in 1992, shone with 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 3 matches of the season, helping Santos escape the relegation battle.
Neymar's future remains uncertain. Several sources reveal that the former Al Hilal star is being contacted by a number of Serie A teams.
