Neimar, 34, gifts jersey to rival fan’s child after Santos’ 1–0 win

Neimar da Silva and his Santos teammates secured a 1–0 away win against host Corinthians on Monday night, marking the 25th round of the Brazilian league.

The victory extended Santos’ season tally to seven league wins. After the final whistle, players celebrated exuberantly on the pitch.

Before leaving the field, Neimar da Silva unexpectedly approached the Corinthians supporters’ stands and handed his match-worn jersey to a young boy. The child immediately burst into tears of joy.

Last Monday, ahead of Santos’ match against Mirassol, the 34-year-old player had embraced a girl who broke down in tears while standing beside him just before kickoff.

Neimar has scored six goals and registered three assists in 12 league appearances this season.
