Overview
- Santos beat Remo 1-0 to reach the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals after Neymar came off the bench to set up Rony’s decisive goal and the club earned about R$4 million from the win.
- After the match Neymar posted a video mocking crowd abuse and was captured repeatedly shouting “Eliminated!” at Remo players, officials and staff while walking down the tunnel.
- Club staff quickly escorted Neymar into the locker room as fans and some opposing players tried to get past barricades and a possible physical confrontation was averted.
- Remo president Antonio Carlos Texeira publicly denounced Neymar, calling him a “bum,” and Brazilian media linked the tunnel outburst to earlier recent loss-of-composure incidents.
- No formal sanctions tied to the Aug. 5 tunnel incident have been reported yet, but the episode adds reputational strain on Neymar and could prompt further club or competition discipline.
