Neymar scored his first goal for Santos since returning to Brazil when he converted a penalty Sunday in a 3-1 win over Sao Paulo-based Água Santa. Finding the net from the spot in the 14th minute of the Sao Paulo state championship match will provide the 33-year-old star some relief after a tough restart.

After deciding to end his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, the Brazilian attacker Neymar returned to Santos on January 31.

Neymar has officially returned to Brazilian soccer. After a warm reception at Vila Belmiro in January, the Brazilian star scored his first goal of 2025 with his boyhood club, Santos, in Matchday 10 of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista against Agua Santa.

Neymar scored for the first time in over 14 months on Sunday with his first goal for Santos since his return to his boyhood club at the start of the month.

Neymar wants to continue at Santos beyond this summer, according to his father and agent Neymar da Silva Santos Sr.

Brazil star Neymar, who rejoined boyhood club Santos last month, has thanked the team and fans for helping him "rediscover joy" following the end of his long goal drought in Sunday's 3-1 win over Agua Santa.

Neymar wants to "take it easy" and explained his rationale behind signing a six-month contract at Santos amid sensational Barcelona return talks.

Neymar has made a major announced about his future at Santos that contradicts what his father said just hours earlier.

After months of anticipation and battling injuries, forward Neymar Jr finally had his moment of joy back in his homeland with Santos FC during the match against Água Santa in the Campeonato Paulista.
