At the Urbano Caldeira stadium, Neymar played until the 90th minute before coming off despite not being in 100% condition. In a post-match interview with Premiere , Neymar admitted he was having knee problems and had to play with protective gear: "To be honest, not everything is fine. But the people who need to know the injury are the club doctor, me and my team."
The Brazilian star also denied that he ignored the doctor to play: "Completely opposite to what the press reported. This was a decision agreed upon together, with the doctor. In the end, the one who made the decision was me. Today, I chose to play."
On the field, Neymar proved his worth when he opened the score in the 25th minute with a decisive shot in the penalty area. In the 67th minute, Neymar assisted his teammate Joao Schmidt to seal the 3-0 victory.
The victory helped Santos leave the danger zone on the rankings. The club is now 2 points above the red light zone with 2 rounds of the season left. The appearance of the 31-year-old superstar at the crucial moment once again affirmed his irreplaceable role in the team's journey to stay in the league.
