Some fans were quite surprised that Carlo Ancelotti had recently left Neymar Jr. out of the Brazil national team squad. In the night leading into Friday, the 34-year-old found the only fitting response to that snub — he delivered on the pitch on Matchday 9 of the Campeonato Brasileiro A.
In Santos’ 2-0 home win over Remo, Neymar first beautifully set up Thaciano for the 1-0 with his left foot (40′). In the second half, he then played the ball into Gonzalo Escobar’s path at exactly the right moment. The Argentine only had to square it for Moises, who was ready to finish (82′).

It was Neymar’s 12th goal involvement in Santos’ last ten matches. Meanwhile, his fans may now have a little more reason to hope for a World Cup featuring the Brazilian football icon.
