Santos player ratings: Neymar and Schmidt lead the way in win over Sport | OneFootball

Santos defeated already-relegated Sport 3-0 this Friday at Vila Belmiro, moving out of the relegation zone in the Brazilian Championship. With a goal each, attacking midfielder Neymar and defensive midfielder João Schmidt were the main highlights for Peixe.

Neymar was in an inspired mood. In addition to scoring the goal that paved the way for the team's victory, he also provided an assist for Schmidt to find the back of the net. The midfielder, meanwhile, was responsible for four tackles, six interceptions, and 12 ball recoveries, according to Sofascore.

Forward Guilherme, who assisted Neymar's goal, also had a good match. Barreal, on the other hand, was discreet. The defensive line put in a solid performance, with right-back Igor Vinícius shining once again.

The negative mention goes to the two strikers: Tiquinho Soares and Lautaro Díaz. Both wasted chances and fell well short compared to the rest.
