📹 Neymar sent off against Botafogo in likely Santos farewell | OneFootball

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.

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.

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.
