Neymar First Penalized Under New Time-Wasting Rule
Neymar Jr., captain of Santos, became the first player required to leave the pitch for one minute under a new rule to combat time-wasting in the Brazilian league. This rule is currently being tested and is set to be adopted in other competitions such as the English Premier League. The rule states that when play is stopped due to a goalkeeper's treatment, the coach must choose a outfield player to leave the pitch for one minute after play resumes. If no choice is made within 10 seconds, the team captain must leave. This regulation aims to reduce time-wasting during matches, with exceptions made for serious injuries or violent interventions.
