Santos defeated Clube do Remo 1-0 at Mangueirão Stadium on August 4, securing a place in the next round of the tournament. Coming off the bench, Neymar played a key role by providing the assist for the game's only goal. After the final whistle, Neymar approached members of Remo's leadership and exchanged words with them, reportedly mocking the club's elimination. The incident drew a strong response from Remo president Antônio Carlos Teixeira, who criticized Neymar's conduct during interviews after the match. If disciplinary officials determine that Neymar violated league regulations, he could face a suspension.
