Neymar suffers first ban in league crackdown
Under the influence of a new rule aimed at reducing time-wasting during matches, Neymar, the captain of Santos, became the first player in the Brazilian league to be required to leave the field for one minute whenever play is stopped due to the goalkeeper's treatment. The rule is currently being applied in the Brazilian league and is also being tested in other competitions, including the Premier League, where coaches are asked to select a player to leave immediately upon resumption of play; if they fail to do so, the captain must leave the field within 10 seconds. This occurred during Santos's 3-0 victory over Vasco da Gama, when Neymar had to leave after the coach failed to choose a substitute player within the allotted time.
