Player ratings: Neymar decisive as he leads Santos to victory | OneFootball

Santos beat Remo 2-0 last Thursday at Vila Belmiro, in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. On a night when the team was far from its best, attacking midfielder Neymar stepped up and led the black-and-white side to victory.

The No. 10 did not have a brilliant performance, but he was decisive. He provided a fine assist for Peixe’s first goal, scored by Thaciano, and delivered a beautiful long pass in the move that led to Moisés’ goal in the second half.

The defensive line also deserves praise. Center-backs Lucas Veríssimo and Luan Peres put in a solid performance, as did left-back Escobar, who also contributed an assist. Defensive midfielders Oliva and Gustavo Henrique, although they offered little on the ball, did well defensively.

The negative highlight was Barreal. The Argentine midfielder was unable to perform on the left flank and had a quiet game. Forward Rony, despite showing plenty of commitment, also fell short technically.
