Part 5/6:
Neymar's presence during the match was characterized by flashes of movement but marked by a lack of decisive impact. While he had moments of good play and connected passes, Neymar struggled to bring creativity to a Santos side that longed for a spark. In contrast to Garro, who facilitated the momentum of the Corinthians attack, Neymar's attempts seemed less effective.
Interestingly, data reflects that Santos had not scored with Neymar on the pitch during this match, highlighting his struggle to influence the outcome positively. Despite improved performance, fans remained critical, especially in light of the match’s hostility from the stands towards him as a former club icon.
