Santos' star forward Neymar made his long-awaited return to the starting lineup, stepping onto the pitch from the first minute for the first time in three months. But his full 90-minute comeback was cut short—and not because of a substitution.
In the home fixture of the 11th round of Brazil's Série A against Botafogo, the 33-year-old striker fought fiercely to snatch victory for his team, but his efforts went too far. In the 76th minute, battling with a defender, he used his hand to force the ball into the opponent's net. The referee showed him a second yellow card, and Neymar was sent off.
For the record, Neymar has played only four matches this Série A season and has yet to contribute a goal or an assist. With Santos down to ten men, they conceded and fell to Botafogo, remaining in the relegation zone after 11 rounds.
