Neymar nets hat-trick again after more than three years | OneFootball

The 3-0 victory by Santos over Juventude, in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship this Wednesday, was marked by Neymar’s show. The attacking midfielder scored three goals in Caxias do Sul and ended a drought of more than three years.

This was the first time the star recorded a hat-trick since April 9, 2022. At that time, he was still at Paris Saint-Germain and found the net three times in a 6-1 win over Clermont in the French Championship.

1334 days later, therefore, Neymar once again scores three goals in the same match, now wearing the Santos jersey.

For the Peixe, the idol’s last hat-trick had been against Cruzeiro, on November 3, 2012. That game ended 4-0 for the black-and-whites. Since then, he also shone with four goals in a single match, in the 4-0 rout over União Barbarense, in the 2013 São Paulo State Championship.

Standings

With Neymar’s brilliance, Santos jumped to 14th place in the Brasileirão, with 44 points, opening up a two-point gap over Vitória, who are the first team in the relegation zone.
