Neymar accomplished a feat more akin to folklore on Wednesday as he scored a hat-trick in Santos’ 3-0 victory against Juventude which might’ve saved his boyhood club from relegation.

The 33-year-old Brazilian icon has been playing injured with a meniscus problem that will require surgery. Despite being told by doctors not to play, Neymar is refusing to see Santos get relegated and is playing through the pain for the final games of the season.

An amazing Thiago Silva scissor kick goal proved to be the late winner in Fluminense’s 1-0 victory vs. Juventude on Thursday.

The Brazilian great proved to the world this summer at the Club World Cup that he’s still capable of competing at the highest level despite his age. Now he’s gone on to show that he can produce world class goals.

Watch as the Fluminense captain delivers in style to win his side the game.
