At the Urbano Caldeira stadium, Neymar played exceptionally well after reports emerged that coach Carlo Ancelotti would not call him up for the Brazilian national team's training camp in March. This was seen as a strong response to those who doubted the abilities of the former Barcelona star.
From the very first minutes, Neymar quickly became the center of attention. He constantly disrupted the Vasco defense with his audacious dribbling and dangerous set-piece situations.
In the 25th minute, from a perfectly placed cross by Moises, Neymar controlled the ball with one touch in the penalty area before unleashing a low, powerful shot into the right corner, opening the scoring for Santos.
Before the first half ended, Vasco managed to equalize 1-1 thanks to a decisive shot from Cauan Barros after an assist from Carlos Andres Gomez.
In the second half, the game became evenly matched. Vasco pushed their formation higher, controlled the ball more, and created constant pressure. However, while the visitors were still struggling to find a second goal, Neymar scored at the right moment.
In the 61st minute, Neymar sprinted into the penalty area before skillfully lobbing the ball over goalkeeper Leo Jardim, securing a 2-1 victory with a classy finish. It was a moment that perfectly showcased the killer instinct and characteristic flair of the former Barcelona star.
The final minutes saw Vasco pressing hard, but Santos held firm. Neymar's brace secured three crucial points, a strong affirmation of their value amidst surrounding doubts.
