Neymar was left in tears as his beloved Santos FC endured the worst home defeat in the club’s storied history — a crushing 0-6 loss to Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian Série A.

The disastrous night in Brazil saw Vasco tear apart a lifeless Santos side from start to finish. To make matters worse, even a late consolation goal for Santos — already trailing by six — was ruled out, summing up the nightmare at Vila Belmiro.

As the final whistle blew, the camera zoomed in on a heartbroken Neymar, who sat on the turf, head buried in his knees, visibly sobbing. The fans delivered their own verdict — many turned their backs to the pitch, a powerful gesture of protest and disappointment.

Moments later, head coach Kléber Xavier was dismissed from his role in what is already being called a crisis moment for the club.

The result leaves Santos 15th in the league table, now just two points clear of the relegation zone — a far cry from the glory days of Pelé and the golden era that once defined this Brazilian giant.
