Neymar is a starter for the second time this season this Thursday (26).
And he scored his first goal in 2026 in the thrilling match against Vasco, during the fourth round of the Brasileirão.
The ball has been rolling since 7 PM (BrasÃlia time).
The number 10 of Peixe also made a "tribute" to Vini Jr. in his celebration.
Then the sequence had yellow cards after a clash with Thiago Mendes.
Resulting from an old "rivalry" between them.
EMOTION from the start
The first big chance was from Vasco with Nuno Moreira.
But Brazão said "no".
Santos didn't take long to respond.
Reinforcing that the game would indeed be open.
Until then unable to stand out, Neymar decided at the 25th minute.
He received from Moisés and shot with no chance for Jardim.
Goal number 151 for Santos. Entering the Top-10 of the club's greatest scorers in history.
The celebration started with requests for silence directed at Vasco's fans present at Vila.
And then, dancing at the corner flag. Remembering Vini Jr., a target of racism against Benfica in the Champions League.
A commotion formed before the game resumed due to Neymar's celebration.
He argued with Thiago Mendes and pretended to have been headbutted.
Both ended up with yellow cards.
They were rivals in France, with an incident involving the then Lille midfielder that left Neymar injured for PSG.
On the way to the break, Neymar was asked about the incident with Thiago Mendes and didn't hold back.
"Always him. He always wants to cause trouble, always wants to act tough, it's always like this. With all due respect, he's an idiot. He already injured me once at PSG and promised me today. So let's see if he's man enough to injure me again."
The Vasco midfielder was approached but chose not to comment.
Cruz-Maltina Reaction
Vasco continued to be very dangerous on the left.
A mistake from Santos came and Gómez set up Barros to finish with freedom (43').
The current result takes both teams to two points.
They remain in the Z-4 of the competition.
