Santos star Neymar rolled back the years on Sunday, delivering a sensational hat-trick to secure a vital 3-0 victory and lift his boyhood club further away from relegation danger.

The 33-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 56th minute after a rapid counterattack, before doubling the advantage 10 minutes later with a composed finish from Igor Vinicius’s low cross. He completed the treble just past the 70th minute, calmly converting a penalty to seal his first hat-trick since April 2022.

The three goals not only marked a milestone — his 150th career strike for Santos — but also underlined his growing influence since returning to the Brazilian side. Neymar has now scored five times in his last three appearances, a hot streak that has reignited Brazil’s hopes ahead of the 2026 World Cup, pending his fitness recovery.

With one league match remaining, Santos now sit two points above the drop zone, transforming their survival outlook after weeks of anxiety.

Speaking after the match, Neymar reaffirmed loyalty to the club that launched his superstardom, saying his return was about “repaying Santos and fighting to the end.”

As the season’s dramatic finale approaches, all eyes will be on Santos — and on their talisman, whose late-career resurgence may yet script one more unforgettable chapter.
