📹Neymar speaks out after Santos humiliation and worst defeat of his career
The 6-0 thrashing of Santos by Vasco at MorumBIS this Sunday (17th) became a landmark in the Brasileirão and also in Neymar's career. The number 10 star had never left the field with such a heavy defeat in an official match. + Neymar leaves the field in tears and social media is SHOCKED by the rout + Cleber Xavier can't withstand the humiliating defeat and is fired from Santos After the match, Neymar spoke in the stadium's mixed zone. Clearly shaken, the forward swore and warned: "If you're (in the group) going to do this, you don't even need to show up again." "It was shit, a disgrace to do this kind of thing wearing the Santos shirt. Everyone needs to put their head on the pillow, go home, and think about what they want to do. Because, with today's attitude, if we're going to do what we did today, you don't even need to show up on Wednesday" The 6-0 is the biggest defeat suffered by Santos in a match against Vasco. Before, only 5-1 for each side. It was also the biggest away win for the "Gigante da Colina" in the first division of the Brazilian Championship. It was also the third worst defeat for a home team in the Brasileirão's points system era (since 2003). This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler overtakes Robert MacIntyre, uses wild chip-in birdie to win at Caves Valley
Scottie Scheffler, of course, has done it again. Scheffler, thanks in part to an absolutely wild chip-in down the stretch at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, overtook Robert MacIntyre to claim the BMW Championship on Sunday afternoon. The top-ranked golfer in the world posted a 3-under 67 in the final round of the FedExCup Playoffs stop to grab a two-shot win over the field. Scheffler has now won five times this season, which marked his second-straight PGA Tour season with at least five wins in the books. Tiger Woods is the only other player in history to pull that feat off over the last four decades. Scheffler, who used a replacement caddie again this week while Ted Scott is back at home dealing with a family emergency, ended up starting the final round four shots back of MacIntyre. The Scottish star posted a 2-under 68 on Saturday to help build his lead, thanks in part to a deep birdie putt at the last. But MacIntyre's lead disappeared almost immediately in the final round. MacIntyre made back-to-back bogeys to start his day on Sunday, and then he made another at the fifth to get to 3-over. Scheffler, meanwhile, birdied the first hole alongside MacIntyre to cut the lead in half immediately. Then, after offsetting a bogey of his own with a birdie at the fifth, Scheffler stuck his approach at the seventh to just a few feet to take the lead for the first time. Scheffler pushed his lead to two shots briefly, but MacIntyre finally carded his first birdie of the day at the par-5 16th with a huge up-and-down safe to stay in the mix. But Scheffler immediately slammed the door shut in a way that was reminiscent of only Woods in his prime. Scheffler, standing over his ball in the thick rough on a slope on the opposite side of the green at the par-3 17th, chipped-in like it was no big deal whatsoever. MacIntyre was left standing over his shot, which was also situated in the rough, completely stunned. Scheffler then quickly wrapped up a par at the 18th to secure his win. MacIntyre finished alone in second at 13-under on the week. Maverick McNealy came in third at 11-under, and Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns then rounded out the top five. The win was Scheffler's second in his last three starts. He's won two major championships this season too, first at the PGA Championship and again at the British Open last month. Scheffler is now just a U.S. Open victory away from becoming the seventh golfer in history to completing the career grand slam. He's won 12 times in the past two seasons, three of which have been major championship titles. Only Arnold Palmer, Jack NIcklaus and Woods have accomplished that. Scheffler has now finished inside the top 10 in every start dating back to the Texas Children's Houston Open in March, too. His worst finish during that stretch was a T8 run, something he's done twice. Scheffler, who locked up his Ryder Cup spot weeks ago, holds a massive lead in the FedExCup standings entering East Lake next week in Atlanta. The Tour removed its starting strokes format this year, however, which means that Scheffler won't have any advantage entering the final event of the season. If he's going to claim his second straight FedExCup, he's going to have to beat the 29 other golfers like normal. Based on how he's been playing lately, that outcome wouldn't be surprising to anyone. This post will be updated with more information shortly.

Major league-worst Rockies rally again to beat the Diamondbacks, 6-5
DENVER (AP) — Ryan Ritter and Mickey Moniak hit two-run singles in the seventh inning and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Sunday. Major league-worst Colorado rallied late for the second consecutive game and won the final three games of four-game series. The Rockies are 35-89. Jake Woodford (0-3) gave up a leadoff single and hit the next two batters, and singles by Ritter and Moniak gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead. Braxton Fulford had an RBI double in the eighth. Anthony Molina (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning and Juan Mejia finished for his first save for Colorado. With runners on second and third in the ninth, Mejia made a leaping catch of Ketel Marte's popup and held onto the ball despite colliding with first baseman Warming Bernabel to end the game. Colorado spoiled Nabil Crismatt's first start since Aug. 10, 2022, with San Diego. He retired the first 11 batters on Sunday before Ezquiel Tovar's two-out single in the fourth and gave up a two-out RBI single to Orlando Arcia in the fifth. Crismatt tied a career high in strikeouts (five) and innings but was denied his first win in 17 months when the Rockies rallied in the seventh. The Diamondbacks couldn't score against Antonio Senzatela but rallied in the sixth off Luis Peralta. Corbin Carroll led off with a 474-homer to the second deck in right, his 27th, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. followed with his 16th. Three straight singles and an error by Arcia at third put Arizona ahead 4-1. Key moment The seventh-inning rally behind Ritter and Moniak.
