Neymar experienced the most overwhelming defeat of his career this Sunday.
Neymar experienced a day to forget, following Vasco Da Gama’s resounding victory over Santos in the Brazilian Serie A. The final score of 6-0 reflects the worst defeat in the career of the Brazilian star, who recently renewed his contract with Santos in June.
Philippe Coutinho was the figure of the match, scoring two goals for Vasco Da Gama. Lucas Piton opened the scoring, followed by goals from David Correa De Fonseca, Rayan, and Danilo Neves, sealing a historic victory.
Neymar was plunged into a state of deep emotion by the defeat, being consoled by members of the coaching staff at the end of the match.
The result not only represents a hard fall for Santos, but also boosts Vasco Da Gama, taking them out of the relegation zone and bringing them closer to Santos in the standings.
I am ashamed. I am totally disappointed with our performance. The fans have every right to protest, obviously without using violence… But if they want to curse and insult, they are within their rights.
Neymar
Neymar expressed his frustration after the match:
It’s a feeling of extreme shame. I had never experienced this in my life. Unfortunately, it happened. The tears were from anger, from everything. Unfortunately, I can’t help in every way. Anyway, it was total shit, that’s the reality.

After this result, Santos made the decision to dismiss their coach, Cléber Xavier.
