Neymar in action for Santos© AFP
Nemar On Sunday on Sunday, he scored his first goal for Santos for the first time in 14 months after returning to his boyhood club. The 33-year-old defeated Santos 3–1 in the Sao Paulo State Championship match. Neymar, who failed to score in his first three matches with Santos, stepped into the Slot Home for penalty in the 14th minute. It was his 137th goal in 229 demonstrations for the club after leaving him for Barcelona in 2013. This was his first target for anyone since October 3, 2023, when he was playing for Al Hilal against Nasaji Majandaran in the Asian Champions League.
He ended his contract with the Saudi Club in late January to return home.
After joining Paris St.-Germen in August 2023, Neymar spent 18 months with Al Hilal, enriched by 100 million euros ($ 103m) in a season on a deal.
Neymar played five games for Brazil before suffering from a serious knee injury.
After a year, he returned to the last October and performed two more to Al Hilal, only one to afford a hamstring tear.
On Sunday, apart from his goal, Neymar also provided a assistance, another first in four matches that he has played since reaching Brazil.
