Santos, Neymar and Remo
Tuesday
Santos reached the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals with a 1-0 victory over Remo, but Neymar’s post-match behaviour triggered a heated confrontation. The substitute assisted Rony’s winner before dancing, taunting opposing staff and clashing verbally near the tunnel.
Remo president Antonio Carlos Teixeira strongly criticised Neymar’s conduct after security barriers prevented the dispute from becoming physical. The incident overshadowed Santos’ qualification and may create disciplinary consequences, despite Neymar’s decisive contribution to the winning goal.
