Santos relied on a great performance by Neymar to defeat Flamengo. According to data from Opta, the number 11 - besides being the goal scorer - was the main offensive name of the black and white team.

The heat map shows 50 actions with the ball, with emphasis on the left side of the field, where Neymar concentrated most of the plays. He also participated a lot in the offensive midfield, helping in the construction of the plays and posing a threat with dribbles and deep passes.
