Neymar enjoyed a successful return on the field by helping Santos reach the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, but the celebration was quickly overshadowed by a heated confrontation after the match.
Santos defeated Clube do Remo 1-0 at Mangueirão Stadium on August 4, securing a place in the next round of the tournament. Coming off the bench, Neymar played a key role by providing the assist for the game's only goal.
