Neymar showcased his skills in Santos FC's 3-0 victory against Internacional de Limeira by scoring a remarkable goal directly from a corner kick in the 27th minute, a feat he labeled as his first 'Olympico goal.'

He expressed his desire to represent Brazil again, emphasizing the honor of defending his country. The match further highlighted Neymar's ongoing journey to rediscover his form and confidence after significant injuries.
