Corinthians condemn fans over abuse of child who received Neymar's shirt | OneFootball

Corinthians have condemned supporters who directed aggression at a child at Neo Química Arena on Sunday. The club said in a statement that such behaviour is unacceptable and reiterated its commitment to a safer, respectful and welcoming environment for all.

On the pitch, Neymar was influential in the derby. His free-kick led to the only goal, finished by Oliva on the rebound in the first half.

After the defeat to Santos, a young Corinthians fan received the forward’s match-worn shirt.

The boy and his family were then subjected to demands and verbal abuse from Corinthians supporters and left the stadium under police escort.

Corinthians are next in action on Sunday at 19:30 Brasília time against Chapecoense, again at Neo Química Arena.
