Neymar's Costly 'Hand of God' Attempt: A Farewell Foul at Santos?

Neymar's ambitions to replicate Diego Maradona's famed 'Hand of God' goal ended in unexpected disgrace on Sunday, following a contentious handball during Santos' showdown with Botafogo.

With the score tied at 0-0 in the closing stages, Neymar's handball attempt to score led to his ejection, marking potentially his final appearance for Santos amid mounting club challenges.

Botafogo capitalized on Neymar's absence, securing a narrow 1-0 victory. After the match, Neymar took to social media to apologize, owning up to his mistake and expressing regret over the lost points.
