Neymar
34-Year-Old
Santos
Brasileiro
Scores penalty in brief outing
Neymar scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Norway. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.
ANALYSIS
Neymar was used as a last resort in the final stages of the match and converted a penalty kick in stoppage time, but it wasn't enough for Brazil to advance to the quarterfinals in a disappointing World Cup. The experienced attacker battled a calf injury early in the competition and was barely able to regain fitness, recording 37 minutes on the pitch across two substitute appearances. Considering his age and recent physical concerns, this could have been the last World Cup of his career, and he'll now look to regain form in domestic action.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to extend deal?
Neymar is looking to extend his current contract at Santos until June 2026, according to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Neymar has suffered a fair share of injuries since joining Santos for the Campeonato Paulista earlier this year, but the star forward remains happy at the club and is not interested in returning to Europe. On that scenario, all signs point to both parties extending this deal for, at least, 12 more months.
