Now, the story began in the worst way. At 38', Igor Jesús scored Botafogo's goal, and although U. fought, they never found a way to hurt John's goal.
With this defeat and Estudiantes de La Plata's victory over Carabobo, Gustavo Álvarez's team will have to settle for a ticket to the Sudamericana.

🎥 Neymar sent off in possible Santos farewell, silly red card
In what could be his last game for his home club FC Santos, Neymar certainly didn't cover himself in glory and received a truly curious yellow card. Due to injury, it was only his second start since his return in January. This was also over after 76 minutes because the Brazilian scored a goal in the style of the Hand of God. Advertisement The already warned superstar let himself be carried away with this action, but apparently forgot that, unlike Diego Maradona, he would be exposed by about 100 camera angles during his cheating action. Neymar quickly became the laughing stock on the net, instead of the heroic goal scorer of his team. Santos lost the duel against Botafogo 1-0 with a man down and is currently in a relegation spot after eleven matchdays. Since Neymar's contract expires on June 30 and the Brazilian league is on hold due to the Club World Cup until mid-July, this inglorious action could actually have been his last for Santos. The signs are currently pointing to another club change. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today
🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today Fans don't call it the Hypertension League for nothing... Today, the Hypermotion League, the second division of Spanish football, puts the last direct promotion spot up for grabs. Starting at 18:30, there will be a unified matchday in what promises to be an electrifying round. Advertisement Elche is the clear favorite in this battle, but Real Oviedo and Mirandés also have their chances if the Franjiverdes slip up. Let's review the options for the three clubs hoping to reach the top division today: What does Elche need? If they win at Riazor against Deportivo La Coruña, they are promoted. If they draw, Sarabia's side must hope that Mirandés doesn't win, because the head-to-head favors the team from Anduva. A three-way tie on points also favors Elche. If they lose, Oviedo and Mirandés must also lose. What do Real Oviedo and Mirandés need? The Carbayón side only has one scenario: beat Cádiz at the Tartiere and hope Elche loses at Riazor. Advertisement Mirandés needs to win at Cartagonova and for both Elche and Oviedo to either draw or lose. The last two playoff spots up for grabs Three teams in contention, but only two spots available. One of those two spots will come from the Racing de Santander-Granada match. Granada must win, but Racing only needs a draw to qualify, and could even make it through with a loss as long as Almería doesn't beat Tenerife. Almería's situation is clear: a win against relegated Tenerife puts them in the promotion playoffs. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📹 Neymar sent off against Botafogo in likely Santos farewell
📹 Neymar sent off against Botafogo in likely Santos farewell This Sunday (1), Santos lost to Botafogo 1 x 0, at Vila Belmiro, for the 11th round of Brasileirão 2025. And Neymar was the protagonist of the game. But not for the best reasons. The star of the number 10 shirt and captain of Peixe was sent off, at the end of the second half. Advertisement Already in the first half, Neymar was showing irritation when he was provoked by the Botafogo fans present at the stadium. On the occasion, the 33-year-old player responded by saying "I'm going to score and I'm going there". Still in the first half's stoppage time, Neymar fouled Jair - ex-Santos - and received a yellow card. However, in the final stretch of the second half, Neymar completed the cross from the left with his hand to send the ball to the back of John's net. The goal was disallowed and, upon receiving the second yellow card, Neymar ended up getting the red and being sent off. Thus, with a contract with Santos until June 30, 2025 and with the Brasileirão being stopped on June 12, for Fifa Date and, then, Fifa Club World Cup, this may have been Neymar's last act with the Peixe shirt. Advertisement Neymar's last expulsion had been in December 2022, when he played for PSG against Strasbourg, for Ligue 1. This was the 16th expulsion of the striker in his career, being the fifth for Santos. In the final minutes, Artur tried the cross, but the ball passed by everyone, and opened the score for Botafogo. 🚦 How it stands With the result, Botafogo reached 15 points and moved up to eighth position. Santos remained with eight points and in the Z-4 (18th place). While the next game for Peixe is June 12, against Fortaleza, for the 12th round of Brasileirão, Glorioso returns to the field already on June 4, in a delayed match against Ceará.
