📊 Neymar shines as Santos sink Juventude, check the updated table
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.
In the final stage, Santos made many mistakes, was under pressure from Juventude, but it was precisely in an incredible sequence of mistakes by the alviverde defense that Peixe extended their lead with Neymar, scoring a penalty.
The star of the number 10 shirt completed five consecutive games, something that had not happened since 2022. 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. The last time was in the debut of coach Fernando Diniz in the Brazilian National Team, in the 5-1 rout over Bolivia, in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.📆 19th round schedule

Hoffenheim ban two Dietmar Hopp confidants from the PreZero Arena
Kicker reports that Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will take the next step in distancing itself from controversial agent Roger Wittmann. The close confidant of club patron Dietmar Hopp – known to be involved in several dodgy personnel dealings with the club's front office – will no longer be allowed in the stadium. A second business associate of Hopp will also be forbidden from attending matches at the PreZero Arena. The ban also applies to former TSG academy head Dirk Mack. The 56-year-old currently works for a company, Hobra, that consults with two clubs in which Hopp has vested financial interests: Brazil (Barra Futebol Clube) and Portugal (Academico de Viseu). Hoffenheim obtained defender Arthur Chaves from the latter club in what was widely perceived to be a crooked deal. Wittmann continues to represent Hoffenheim professionals Chaves, Umut Tohumcu, Tim Lemperle, and Fisnik Asllani. Wittmann recently negotiated a lucrative contract extension for Asllani. Kicker reports that Wittmann, and Mack are not necessarily prepared to accept their embargoes. The duo may attempt to discredit the current leader of the TSG management team, Dr. Markus Schütz, and perhaps force changes in the club's supporters nevertheless remain firmly on the side of getting Hopp and his cronies out of the club. Many TSG fans still stage protests against Hopp's influence. The 83-year-old technically fulfilled his promise to return the club to 50+1 administration, but still appears to be pulling strings behind the scenes. The dismissal of longtime Hoffenheim sporting director Alexander Rosen approximately one year ago is taken by many to constitute evidence of this. Rosen's eventual replacement Andreas Schicker and head coach Christian Ilzer remain highly unpopular figures in the German footballing discourse. GGFN |

Abel insulted as Corinthians dump Palmeiras out, advance in Copa 🇧🇷
In the Allianz Parque, Corinthians defeated Palmeiras 2-0 on Wednesday (6), in the return game of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. In the aggregate, Timão qualified for the quarterfinals with a score of 3-0 over their biggest rival. Even in the opponent's home, Corinthians entered with "a knife between their teeth". Possibly, due to the support of the Fiel Torcida, who, before the classic, went to the CT Joaquim Grava to watch the team bus leave for the stadium. The players, in fact, got off to thank the fans. With the ball rolling, Palmeiras' situation became even more difficult when Aníbal Moreno thought he would get away with a header against an opposing player. After VAR review, referee Anderson Daronco gave a red card to the Argentine midfielder, leaving Verdão with one less player on the field. Finally, after at least three good chances, Timão opened the scoring when Matheus Bidu appeared as a center-forward under the crossbar to push the ball into the goal. Naturally, a Derby would already be tense. With a spot in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals at stake, the emotions were running high. One of Abel Ferreira's assistants was even expelled after the alvinegro goal and left firing against the refereeing. After the interval, Corinthians - much more tranquil on the field - extended their lead with Gustavo Henrique, completing Garro's cross from the second post with a header. With a 3-0 aggregate score, the rest of the final stage was just more confusion between the players, which even led to the expulsion of Abel Ferreira's second assistant. In the additional time, Emiliano Martínez still stepped on Ángel Romero, who was on the ground, and was also expelled. 🧐 Solidarity or haste? Yuri Alberto got injured and, as he was taking too long to leave the field, Palmeiras' defender Micael went to "help" the opponent. 🤯 Greater pressure With the elimination, Palmeiras' fans didn't spare anyone. The fans even cursed the coach Abel Ferreira - one of the most successful coaches in the club's history. The revolt of the palmeirenses, in addition to the elimination itself, also has to do with the loss of the Paulista title to their biggest rival.🚦 How it stands Corinthians now waits for the CBF draw to know their opponent in the quarterfinals. Palmeiras returns to the field on Sunday (10), again at the Allianz Parque, when they host Ceará, in the last round of the Brasileirão. Timão visits Juventude, at the Alfredo Jaconi, on Monday (11).
