📊 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

VIDEO: Neymar scores twice in dazzling display for Santos with three of Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil staff members watching on
Iconic playmaker must prove fitness Eager to grace World Cup in 2026 Doing his best to catch the eye Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? The enigmatic 33-year-old playmaker has endured more fitness issues since returning to his roots on the back of a forgettable stint in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal. He is, however, determined to grace the 2026 World Cup next summer. WATCH THE CLIP THE BIGGER PICTURE Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer needs to prove his form and fitness to Carlo Ancelotti in order to be selected for that tournament. A Selecao delegation was sent to watch Neymar's latest appearance for Santos. DID YOU KNOW? He did his best to catch the eye, with a brace being registered in a 3-1 win. His first effort of the game was a composed finish when the ball broke his way six yards out, while his second was successfully converted from the penalty spot. Executive coordinator of the Brazil national team, Rodrigo Caetano, technical manager Juan and physical trainer Cristiano Nunes were among those in attendance at Estadio do Morumbi - and they will have been impressed by what they saw. WHAT NEYMAR SAID Neymar told reporters afterwards of trying to force his way back into the Brazil squad: 'Everyone knows my style of football. I'm available, regardless of anything. I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it depends entirely on him [Ancelotti]. 'Happy to play a good game, to win again, which is the most important thing. And I think our team has to keep improving from here. Obviously, we can't repeat many of the mistakes we made, but that's how it is. We have to work to improve more and more.' WHAT NEXT? Neymar, with 79 international goals to his name, won the last of his 128 caps for Brazil in October 2023 - with it that contest against Uruguay that saw him suffer knee ligament damage which led to surgery and 12 months on the sidelines.

📹 Call me up now! Neymar sends message to Ancelotti: I'm available
After scoring two goals in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude on Monday (4th), Neymar spoke about a possible return to the Brazilian National Team. After all, members of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff were present at MorumBIS to follow Neymar's recovery, as he played five consecutive games, something that hadn't happened since 2022. "Happy to score two goals, to win again, which is the most important thing, and I think it's only going to get better for our team. Obviously, we made many mistakes today that we can't make, but we need to work to improve every day." "Everyone knows my football. I'm available. Regardless of anything, I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it's up to them." Since October 2023, when he suffered a severe left knee injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him from the field for a year, Neymar hasn't played for the Brazilian National Team. In 17 games in the 2025 season for Santos, Neymar has six goals and three assists. Brazil concludes its participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in September, with matches against Chile on the 4th at Maracanã, and against Bolivia on the 9th, away from home. In third place with 25 points, the Brazilian National Team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as they can no longer be caught by Venezuela, which is in seventh place with 18 points.
