Neymar has scored his first goal for Santos since returning to Brazil. Finding the net from the spot in a Sao Paulo state championship match will provide the 33-year-old forward some relief after a tough restart in Brazil.

Santos defeated Agua Santa in a home match in the 10th round of the Paulista League, the championship of the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The match ended with a score of 3-1.

Neymar wants to continue at Santos beyond this summer, according to his father and agent Neymar da Silva Santos Sr.

Brazil star Neymar, who rejoined boyhood club Santos last month, has thanked the team and fans for helping him "rediscover joy" following the end of his long goal drought in Sunday's 3-1 win over Agua Santa.

After months of anticipation and battling injuries, forward Neymar Jr finally had his moment of joy back in his homeland with Santos FC during the match against Água Santa in the Campeonato Paulista.
