In the important round of the Brazilian national championship (serie A), Santos suffered a bitter loss of 0-6 to Vasco da Gama.
This result not only put the team in a dangerous situation in the relegation race, but also left a great pain for striker Neymar.
The match was considered a "reverse final" when both teams needed points to escape the danger zone.
However, while Neymar was completely blocked and could not leave an impression, Philippe Coutinho shined for Vasco, contributing greatly to the biggest win in the round.
With this defeat, Santos dropped to 15th place, only 21 points and approached the relegation zone.
Neymar not only watched his team lose the match helplessly but also received his third yellow card of the season, which means he will be suspended in the upcoming match against Bahia.
Leaving the pitch in tears, the 33-year-old striker could not hide his embarrassment: I have never experienced such a feeling.
The fans have the right to scream, even insult us. This is truly a disaster. I was very disappointed with myself and the whole team.
He admitted that the tears were not only from sadness but also from anger: To be honest, I played very badly today. I can't help Santos."
