Brazil Serie A News
Despite playing with a knee injury, Neymar scored a crucial second-half hat-trick in 17 minutes to lead Santos to a 3-0 victory over Juventude to boost his team's fight against relegation in the Brasileirão.
Abel Braga, head coach of Brazilian club Internacional, has apologized for making an anti-gay remark about his team's pink training vest.
Originally billed as the "final of the century," Saturday's Libertadores decider was a war of attrition -- mainly because Brazil's two top clubs are struggling to contend with a ridiculous match schedule.
It was meant to be a homecoming that would boost his World Cup chances with Brazil. Instead, Neymar's Santos return has only ended up in frustration.
World Cup hopeful Neymar is in danger of missing Santos' last three league games of the season because of a knee injury, according to ESPN.
