[Saba Sports News] Brazilian media reports that Santos FC has filed a police report against fan Alex Sanders Silva following a post-match altercation with Neymar Junior after their 1-2 loss to Internacional. The confrontation occurred when Neymar approached the stands, where Silva had repeatedly criticized the team during the game. Tensions escalated, requiring goalkeeper Joao Paulo to intervene and escort Neymar away. Silva told ESPN he faced hostility from other Santos fans afterward, accusing Neymar of inciting them. The club later revealed Silva had used another person’s ID to enter the stadium, violating their “King Member” biometric system rules. Santos’ statement noted: “Our investigation found Alex Sanders Silva potentially breached ticketing protocols by using non-personal credentials. He is not a registered member of Santos FC.”
