Phillipe Coutinho scored a brace as Vasco Da Gama<\/a> put six past Neymar<\/a>‘s Santos<\/a> in the Brazilian Serie A<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Neymar, who signed a new contract at Santos in June<\/a>, and was on the receiving end of a 6-0 defeat, the worst of his career. He was overcome with emotion at full-time and consoled on the pitch by a member of the club’s backroom staff.<\/p>\n

Former Liverpool<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a> forward Coutinho — who joined Vasco this summer<\/a> — scored twice in the second-half after Lucas Piton put Vasco in front early in the first. Goals from David Correa De Fonseca, Rayan and Danilo Neves capped of the sensational scoreline.<\/p>\n

The result takes Vasco out of the relegation zone and puts them just two points behind Santos in 15th.<\/p>\n

“I’m ashamed. I’m totally disappointed with our performance. The fans have every right to protest, obviously without using violence … But if they want to curse and insult, they’re in their right,” Neymar said post match.<\/p>\n

“It’s a feeling of extreme shame. I’ve never experienced this in my life. Unfortunately, it happened. The tears were from anger, from everything. Unfortunately, I can’t help in every way. Anyway, it was total s—, that’s the reality.”<\/p>\n

Santos sacked head coach Cl\u00e9ber Xavier after the result and “wish him well in his future career,” they said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 17, 2025, 05:46 PM ETNeymar suffered the biggest defeat of his career on Sunday.\u00a0Alexandre Schneider\/Getty Images Phillipe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-77481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
