Neymar apologizes for red card in what could be his last game with Brazilian club Santos

(AP Photo/Andre Penner, file) SANTOS, Brazil — Neymar has apologized for a red card that he says cost Santos a victory in the Brazilian league, claiming that 'desperation' to score led to the mistake in what could be his final match with the club. Neymar was sent off in the 76th minute of Santos' 1-0 loss to Botafogo at home on Sunday after using his hand to score a goal. Neymar's contract with Santos ends at the end of June and Santos plays only one more league game before the break for the Club World Cup. Since Neymar is suspended for the next match and there's still no deal to extend his contract, he may not play for the club again in this stint. Realizing he was not going to reach the ball with his head before a defender could clear it away, Neymar used his right hand to push the ball into the net. The Brazil forward already had a yellow card and was shown his second by the referee, which immediately disallowed the goal. Botafogo then scored the winner in the 86th. 'Desperation to score a goal sometimes leads to mistakes,' Neymar said on Instagram. 'I want to apologize to my teammates and to the fans. I made a mistake, forgive me. If I hadn't been sent off, I'm sure we would have gotten the three points. Congratulations to the team for today's game. You can put these three points on my account.' Neymar did not have a problem with the second yellow but complained about the first one, which came for a foul late in the first half. 'The second yellow card has to be shown, but the referee has to be kidding about the first one,' he said. 'It's one foul and I'm already being shown a yellow.' 'It's incredible how many bad referees there are out there. That's my opinion, please don't punish me even more,' he said, along with a laughing-face emoji. Santos has only two wins in 11 league matches this year and sits in 18th-place in the 20-team standings, inside the relegation zone.

📋 Will Neymar play? Santos line-up revealed for friendly against RB Leipzig
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Santos takes to the field this Wednesday (28), at 19h (Brasília time), when they face RB Leipzig, at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista, in an international friendly. While Peixe will use the match to make adjustments, since their performance in the Brasileirão is concerning (18th place), the German team is on vacation mode for this first challenge on their tour of the country. Coach Cléber Xavier sends a completely different team to the field from the one that started the last game (1-0 over Vitória, in the Brasileirão), keeping only Barreal and Rollheiser among the starters. The novelty is the inclusion of Neymar in the starting XI, something that hasn't happened since 04/16, when he got injured against Atlé Startelf für den Test gegen @SantosFC 📋#TamoJuntoBrasil #SCFRBL — RB Leipzig (@RBLeipzig) May 28, 2025 📋 OS 11 DO PEIXíO 🆚 RB LEIPZIG! — Santos FC (@SantosFC) May 28, 2025 Featured photo: Guilherme Alves

📹 Neymar back as Santos beat Vitória, return to winning ways
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. At Barradão, Santos defeated Vitória 1-0 this Sunday (25th), in the tenth round of the Brasileirão 2025. This was only the second victory for Peixe in the competition. The first was on 04/16, against Atlético-MG (2-0), at Vila Belmiro. VITÓRIA... DO PEIXíO! ⚪️⚫️Com gol de Guilherme e assistência de Souza, Santos vence o Vitória no Barradão e volta a conquistar 3 pontos no #Brasileirão. Vamos juntos, nação santista!AQUI É SANTOS! 🫀 — Santos FC (@SantosFC) May 25, 2025 The first half was lively with chances for both teams. Guilherme missed an unbelievable goal but redeemed himself with a beautiful header goal before 20 minutes of play. Cruzamento de Souza, cabeçada de Guilherme. Um belíssimo gol alvinegro no Barradão! ⚽ — Santos FC (@SantosFC) May 25, 2025 Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão was once again one of the key players for Santos, with important saves. On the Leão da Barra side, Renato Kayzer had a chance to equalize shortly after the score was opened, but his header went wide. Just like against CRB in the Copa do Brasil last week, Neymar entered the field at the start of the second half. The star wearing the number 10 jersey didn't have an easy time in the tackles. Rollheiser had the chance to extend the lead, but his powerful shot from the edge of the area hit the red and black post. Vitória pressed and had a great chance with a missile from Léo Pereira, but Brazão saved it. The final minutes were filled with pressure from the hosts, but the score remained the victory, Santos reached eight points and moved up to 18th place. Vitória, on the other hand, remained with nine points, opening the Z-4 (17th position). Peixe returns to the field on Wednesday (28th) in a friendly against RB Leipzig. In the Brasileirão, Santos' next match is on Sunday (1st), when they host Botafogo at Vila Belmiro, for the 11th round. Meanwhile, Leão da Barra, who plays next Wednesday (28th) against Universidad de Quito in the last round of the Conmebol Sudamericana group stage, will visit Corinthians on Sunday (1st) in the Brasileirão.
