Neymar Scores Twice in Santos Draw, Mocks Critics

Neymar scored two goals for Santos in a 2-2 home draw against Chapecoense on Saturday, marking his return to action after a two-and-a-half-month absence. This match was significant as Santos is currently battling relegation, remaining just one point above the relegation zone in Brazil’s top flight.

Neymar, 34, faced criticism over his lifestyle, particularly after participating in a poker tournament while his teammates played a Copa Sudamericana match in Venezuela. In response to his critics, he celebrated his first goal with a card-dealing gesture and mimicked a golf swing using a corner flag.

This match followed Brazil's disappointing World Cup campaign, where the national team was eliminated by Norway in the last 16, leading Neymar to announce his retirement from international football.
