He has now scored more goals and provided more assists for Santos than he did for Al-Hilal
Neymar Jr. delivered a moment of brilliance in Santos FC’s Campeonato Paulista clash against Internacional de Limeira, scoring a spectacular goal directly from a corner.
In the 27th minute, the Brazilian star curled the ball with precision from the left side, surprising everyone, including goalkeeper Igo Gabriel. The ball struck the post before bouncing over the line, sparking jubilant celebrations from his teammates and the home crowd.
The audacious strike, known as an "Olympic goal," highlighted Neymar’s enduring class and creativity on the field. His celebration was equally memorable - addressing recent criticism, the 33-year-old silenced opposing fans, cupping his hands to his ears, underlining his belief that his performances speak louder than words.
Santos had already taken the lead through Tiquinho Soares before Neymar doubled their advantage with his remarkable effort. Shortly after, Tiquinho found the net again, rounding off a dominant first half for coach Pedro Caixinha’s team.
