Facing Botafogo in the Brazilian championship on Sunday night into Monday, Santos lost 1-0 at home. So far, nothing too crazy.
The news from the match is that Neymar was sent off for trying to score a goal with his hand 15 minutes before the end of the game, when the score was still 0-0.
After a fumbled ball by the Rio goalkeeper, “Ney” rushed in and pushed the ball into the net with his right hand, getting ahead of a defender.
But the referee wasn’t fooled, the goal was not allowed, and the former Parisian saw red.
