After dry spell, Neymar hits form and boosts stats at Santos | OneFootball

Santos is counting on Neymar’s brilliance to breathe a sigh of relief in this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship. The attacking midfielder has overcome a rough patch and has hit a positive streak.

The star has been involved in six goals in the last three matches for Alvinegro Praiano. That’s five goals and one assist.

During this period, Neymar needed just 44 minutes to be involved in a goal and only three shots to find the back of the net. In addition, he racked up nine key passes, an 80% conversion rate on clear chances (4/5), and 18 shots (eight on target), according to data from Sofascore.

The attacking midfielder’s positive run began with the 1-1 draw against Mirassol. On that occasion, he scored a goal but ended up as the villain after conceding a penalty.

Afterwards, he stood out in the 3-0 win over Sport, with a goal and an assist, and shone in the 3-0 victory over Juventude, scoring a hat-trick.

Before that, Neymar had gone through a tough spell. He went over two months without scoring a goal, with seven consecutive appearances without being involved in a goal.

Now, the Santos idol has 27 appearances this season, with 11 goals and four assists. He is the club’s second top scorer in 2025, just behind Guilherme, who has 14.
