🟥 In likely Santos farewell, Neymar sent off against Botafogo This Sunday (1), Santos lost to Botafogo 1 x 0, at Vila Belmiro, for the 11th round of the Brasileirão 2025. And Neymar was the star 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 coming there". Still in the first half's injury 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 annulled 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 paused on June 12, for Fifa Date and, later, Fifa Club World Cup, this may have been Neymar's last act with the Peixe shirt. In the final minutes, Artur tried the cross, but the ball passed everyone, and opened the score for Botafogo. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

"He passed away this Saturday at the age of 84, in Osasco, Sao Paulo." It added that all games in Brazilian football's four national divisions would observe a minute's silence before kickoff on Sunday. Portuguesa, with whom Jair played from 1960 to 1962, also published a statement on social media in which it paid tribute to "one of the legends of our club". "Jair was discovered at [Portuguesa] and ... was also one of the first Brazilians to play in Europe. Our condolences to his family and friends," it said. In addition to his time at Portuguesa and Inter Milan, Jair had spells at Roma, Santos and Windsor Star.
