Neymar showcased his skill by scoring his first 'Olympic goal' directly from a corner during a match against Internacional de Limeira in the Paulista Championship. This remarkable goal came after he had initially assisted Tiquinho Soares, leading to boos from fans, to which Neymar responded with his stunning strike in the 27th minute of the game, contributing to a 3-0 victory. This match marked his first game in which he was involved in three goals since reducing his injury downtime, highlighting a promising return to form after his stint at Al-Hilal.
"I went to take the [first] corner, they provoked me. I asked them to sing louder, I struck the ball and got an assist. Then, the second time I went there, they did it again, so I thought to myself: 'Now I'm the one who's going to score the goal'."
"I hit a great shot and managed to score my first 'Olympic goal' [goal direct from a corner]."
"Neymar was directly involved in three goals against Inter de Limeira (one goal, two assists), a feat he hadn't reached in club matches in 763 days."
"He has scored two goals in six appearances since rejoining his boyhood club on a six-month deal in January."
