Neymar played a crucial role in his team's victory in the "Sport Recife"-"Santos" match within the Brazilian Football Championship.
Idman.Biz reports that news had spread a few days ago that the 33-year-old striker would be unable to play until the end of the year due to an injury.
However, despite the serious problem, the team's leader decided to take the field and became the hero of the match. He opened the scoring in the 25th minute and also stood out with an assist in the 67th minute.
The victory over the opponent, who is at the bottom of the championship standings, allowed "Santos" to get out of the relegation zone in Serie A.
In the next round, "Santos" will face "Juventude" away as part of the penultimate round of the tournament. The team does not yet feel completely safe: the difference in points with "Vitoria", which is in 17th place, remains two, and the opponent has one game in hand.
