Neymar took to the pitch for Santos on Wednesday in his first game for the Brazilian club since his return last week.
The 33-year-old striker wasn't able to cap his night at Vila Belmiro Stadium with a win on his birthday — Santos drew 1-1 draw with Botafogo Ribeirao Preto, a team fighting relegation in the Sao Paulo state championship.
He replaced Gabriel Bontempo after the break and was immediately the centre of attention.
Neymar also took six shots on goal and gave 22 passes, some as sharp as those in his prime.
Neymar has signed a six-month contract with Santos, which he said could be extended.
