Brazilian star Neymar continues to shine with Santos after joining their ranks last January on a free transfer after terminating his contract by mutual consent with his former team Al-Hilal Saudi Arabia. Santos' match against Braganito in the quarter-finals of the Paulista Championship witnessed an exceptional moment, as the Brazilian star scored an amazing goal from a direct free kick after only nine minutes.
This goal impressed the stadium management, who decided to keep the ball among its historical possessions.
Neymar scored the third goal in the Santos jersey since joining the team, and he also scored for the second match in a row after scoring against Inter de Limeira on February 23, and provided 3 assists during the 7 matches he played with the team so far. It is worth noting that coach Dorival Junior announced the inclusion of Neymar in the preliminary list of the Brazilian national team in preparation for the upcoming international break, so Neymar's goal on the field came as a response in the best way to confirm his readiness to defend the colors of his country.
