Neymar delivered the perfect response to Booing fans on Sunday evening by scoring directly from a corner for Santos in a 3-0 win at Internacional de Limeira.
The former Star of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain had already helped Tiquinho Soares for the opening goal of the game at nine minutes when he ran to the side of the field to take a corner.
As he walked to the corner flag, Neymar was the target of angry and jersers of the home supporters.
The 33-year-old seemed to enjoy his role as the Pantomime villain and before he took the corner, he put his hand on his ear before he encouraged the fans to Booen even louder.
Seconds later, Neymar hit a brilliant birth that narrowly avoided the goalkeeper before he landed in the back of the net via the distant pole.
The Booing stopped immediately and was replaced by the sound of Santos fans who screamed with pleasure.
In the meantime, Neymar reacted to seeing the ball the net by sitting on a nearby advertisement, hoarding each other, crossing his arms and then brutally pulled his shoulders.
Later he claimed another help by setting up Tiquinho for his second goal of the night.
This was Neymar's sixth performance for Santos since he joined his boy's club of Saudi Pro League-Outfit Al-Hilal on 30 January.
He has now scored two goals in his second Santos spell, after he has converted a penalty kick into a 3-1 home victory on Agua Santa last weekend.
Neymar had previously yielded 136 senior goals for Santos between 2009 and 2013 before he left Brazil to Barcelona.
He scored 105 goals in 186 performances for Barca, followed by 118 in 173 outings for PSG, while he also produced 79 in 128 for Brazil at international level.
His 18-month Stint in Al-Hilal, however, was destroyed by injuries and he scored only one goal in seven games for the Saudi side.
