After the Rio goalkeeper fumbled the ball, "Ney" appeared and pushed the ball into the net with his right hand, beating a defender.
But the referee wasn't fooled, the goal wasn't validated and the former Parisian was given his marching orders.

Ex-Arsenal player Jay Emmanuel-Thomas sentenced to four years for involvement in drug smuggling plot
The former Arsenal player Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been sentenced to four years in prison for his involvement in an attempt to smuggle 60 kilograms of cannabis into the United Kingdom. The 34-year-old will serve one year and seven months, having already served nine months on remand, before being released on license. The maximum sentence for cannabis importation in the UK is 14 years in prison. Advertisement At Thursday's sentencing at Chelmsford Crown Court, Emmanuel-Thomas sat behind a glass-panelled dock in a grey suit jacket, flanked by two security officials. Prosecutor David Josse KC told the court that Emmanuel-Thomas was expecting a payment of £5,000 ($6,800) for his part in getting the cannabis into the country. 'It is clear this was about money despite you being in a position where you had the privilege of playing football as a living,' the judge, Alexander Mills, told Emmanuel-Thomas. 'It is through your own actions that you will no longer be known for being a professional footballer. You will be known as a criminal, a professional footballer who threw it all away, and put others at risk of imprisonment, in pursuit of money.' Appearing via videolink from HMP Chelmsford on May 21, Emmanuel-Thomas pleaded guilty to the charge of fraudulent evasion of the prohibition on the importation of cannabis, between July 1 2024 and September 2, 2024, at Chelmsford Crown Court. The former England youth international had been detained by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in September 2024 after the cannabis was detected in suitcases which had arrived on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand to London's Stansted Airport on September 2. The suitcases belonged to Rosie Rowland, 29, and Yasmin Piotrowska, 33, the latter being Emmanuel-Thomas' partner. Having been arrested at Stansted, charges against the women, who denied their involvement at an earlier hearing, were dropped by the prosecution. In May, Josse told the court that the investigation into their involvement was discontinued after analysis of Emmanuel-Thomas's mobile phone. 'They thought they were importing gold, not cannabis,' Josse said. Emmanuel-Thomas initially denied his involvement in importing class B drugs at a hearing at Carlisle Magistrates' Court in September but changed his plea to guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court in May. Advertisement He had been playing at Scottish Championship club Greenock Morton, who terminated his contract after he was charged. After making one Premier League appearance for Arsenal, Emmanuel-Thomas left the north London side in 2011. He then played for clubs including Ipswich Town, Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers, as well as teams in India and Thailand, before joining Morton in July 2024.

Explained: Why Neymar Jr will miss Brazil vs Ecuador FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier
By Aman Shukla Published on June 5, 2025, 20:10 IST Brazil's national football team is set to face Ecuador in a crucial FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier on June 5, 2025, at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo in Guayaquil. However, fans will be disappointed to learn that Neymar Jr., Brazil's all-time top scorer, will not be part of the squad for this highly anticipated match. Here's a detailed look at why Neymar is absent. Reason for Neymar's Absence Neymar's absence from the Brazil squad for the upcoming qualifier stems from a muscle injury he suffered in April 2025 while playing for his boyhood club, Santos. Although he was included in a 50-man preliminary squad for the match, new Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti decided not to include him in the final 26-man roster, citing the need for Neymar to fully recover before returning to international duty. Ancelotti emphasized that Neymar's recent return to competitive football was too soon for the rigors of a high-stakes qualifier. Ancelotti confirmed he spoke with Neymar, stating, 'Neymar's out of the list as he's just returned from injury. I spoke to Ney and we've agreed on this. I trust Neymar, I count on him, we want him to arrive in best conditions to the World Cup.' This cautious approach reflects Brazil's long-term strategy to ensure their star player is in peak condition for the 2026 World Cup. Neymar's Injury History Neymar has faced significant injury challenges in recent years, most notably a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus injury sustained during a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in October 2023. This injury sidelined him for nearly 17 months, causing him to miss key international tournaments, including the 2024 Copa América. After returning to Santos in January 2025, Neymar showed flashes of brilliance, scoring three goals and providing two assists in seven matches. However, the muscle injury in April 2025 set back his progress, prompting Ancelotti to prioritize his recovery over an immediate return. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Milford, Massachusetts teen held by ICE faces first deportation hearing Thursday
Marcelo Gomes, the Milford, Massachusetts teenager detained by ICE last weekend, will have his first deportation hearing Thursday afternoon. Gomes, an 18-year-old junior at Milford High School, is originally from Brazil. He has been held at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Burlington since his arrest on May 31. Agents were looking for his father, but when they found Gomes's student visa had expired several years ago, he was taken into custody. The introductory hearing at 1 p.m. in Chelmsford Thursday will start the deportation process. Gomes will appear via video from Burlington. The judge could decide that Gomes can be released from custody during the process. If he's granted bail, and can post it, he would be allowed to leave the Burlington office. Gomes met with his two attorneys in person for the first time Wednesday evening. They said he described the conditions in the Burlington office as "abhorrent" and that he's been sleeping on the floor and has had little food. ICE wanted to move Gomes to a detention center in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where they said a bed was available, but his attorneys opposed it and a judge agreed. Gomes was driving to volleyball practice with some of his teammates Saturday morning in his father's car when he was pulled over by several ICE agents. Gomes was detained immediately because of the lapsed visa. His attorney Robin Nice said Gomes came to the U.S. lawfully from Brazil when he was 7 years old and should not be detained. Gomes's father, Joao Paulo Gomes-Pereira, is still wanted by ICE. He appeared in a video with his family earlier this week, pleading for ICE to release his son.
