Neymar has issued an apology following a controversial red card in Santos' 1-0 loss to Botafogo. After attempting to score with his hand in the 76th minute, he received a second yellow card, resulting in his dismissal. This incident marred his second league appearance after recovering from injury and puts his future at the club in jeopardy as his contract expires soon. Neymar expressed regret on social media, indicating this could have been a pivotal match for the team's success.
The desperation to score a goal sometimes makes us make mistakes. I want to apologise to my team-mates and also to the fans.
I made a mistake, forgive me. Today, if I hadn't been sent off, I'm sure we would have got the three points.
