📊 Neymar shines as Santos sink Juventude, check the updated table
With the closing of the 18th and penultimate round of Brasileirão 2025, Santos defeated Juventude 3-1 at MorumBIS, on Monday (4). Without a win in three rounds, Peixe took to the field under a lot of pressure, and this was reflected in the many mistakes made by the São Paulo team. However, Neymar (36') picked up the rebound from the goalkeeper in the area and opened the scoring for Santos. Riding the momentum, Peixe extended their lead with Álvaro Barreal (39'), free in the area, after a finish that deflected off the defense. In the first half's stoppage time, Marcelo Hermes took a corner kick, and Wilker Ángel jumped higher than everyone to head in and reduce the score for the Gaúchos.

It was in this same year that Neymar last scored two goals playing for clubs - PSG 7 x 1 Lille. And, after almost 2 years, Neymar scored more than one goal in a match again.

📹 São Paulo beat Inter, four wins running, close in on G-6
In a thrilling match at the Beira-Rio stadium, São Paulo defeated Internacional 2-1 on Sunday (3) in the 18th round of the 2025 Brasileirão. Overall, the game was more intense and with few clear chances. In the beginning, goalkeeper Rafael made a great save from the debutant Alan Benítez. However, for most of the match, Internacional was dominated by São Paulo, who opened the scoring at the end of the first half. After a corner kick, Arboleda jumped higher than everyone else to head the ball into the net. After the break, São Paulo had chances to increase their lead with Luciano and André Silva, but the attackers missed their shots. With authority, São Paulo increased their lead when Luciano deflected the ball with his heel in the penalty area, and Ferraresi assisted Bobadilla to score in the corner of Rochet's goal. In the final minutes, Bruno Tabata scored a penalty with perfection, displacing Rafael, to add more excitement to the game. At the end of the match, a small brawl formed, with coach Roger Machado going to "confront" Cédric Soares, from São Paulo, but the "let it go" people acted quickly.🚦 How it stands With their fourth consecutive win in the Brasileirão, São Paulo reached 25 points and, in eighth place, caught up with the G-6 (RB Bragantino has 27 points). Meanwhile, Internacional, who reached their third game without a win (one draw and one loss in the Brasileirão, and a loss in the Copa do Brasil), remained with 21 points and in 13th place. Both teams return to the field in the middle of the week, with commitments in the return games of the Copa do Brasil round of 16.
