An emotional Neymar said he was ashamed after his Santos side were on the end of a 6-0 home defeat by Vasco da Gama on Sunday, a humiliation that led to the sacking of their head coach, Cléber Xavier.
Philippe Coutinho was on the scoresheet twice as Vasco found the net five times in 16 second-half minutes as part of a rout that leaves Santos two points above the relegation places in Brazil’s Serie A. At full-time, home supporters turned their backs to the pitch in the latest protest against the club.
