Neymar helped Santos beat league leaders Flamengo. |
The big match between Santos and Flamengo did not disappoint the fans' expectations when Neymar became the decisive player with the only goal for the home team at Vila Belmiro. Although he did not play very well for most of the time, the superstar number 10 still knew how to speak up at the right time to bring home 3 full points.
This was a special match as Robinho Jr, son of Robinho, made his professional debut for Santos. The young player wearing the number 7 shirt was brought on by coach Clever Xavier in the 65th minute and marked an important milestone in his career in a top match.
Flamengo had a lot of possession and controlled the game well but lacked sharpness in the final moments. Plata and De Arrascaeta tried to create breakthroughs but did not have enough weight to penetrate Santos's focused defense.
Meanwhile, Neymar was closely marked and rarely had space to show his talent. However, the spirit of a big star spoke up at the right time. Neymar took advantage of the opportunity in the 85th minute with a neat control, turned around and finished coldly to bring victory to Santos.
Filipe Luis and his students will probably regret a match they controlled for the most part but lacked sharpness. The defeat left Flamengo only above the teams below thanks to the extra goal difference. As for Santos, they temporarily climbed to 13th place after 14 rounds.
