Neymar provokes Remo officials after Santos' Copa do Brasil win

Santos defeated Remo 1‑0 in the round of 16 of the 2026 Copa do Brasil at the Mangueirão stadium in Belém, securing a place in the quarter‑finals. Neymar, who entered in the second half, provided the assist for Rony’s decisive goal. After the final whistle, Neymar entered the players’ tunnel and repeatedly shouted “Eliminated!” at Remo players and staff, danced, and made provocative gestures. Remo president Antonio Carlos Teixeira responded by calling the Brazilian star a “vagabundo” and condemned his conduct as disrespectful and unsporting. Santos issued a statement rejecting personal attacks and emphasizing the player’s on‑field contribution. The incident was widely reported by Brazilian and international media, with outlets in Spain, France, Italy and Germany describing Neymar as “out of control.” Neymar later posted on social media defending his actions, while the Remo club said it may pursue disciplinary measures under the Brazilian sports code.
