The match concluded with tensions rising as Neymar faced jeers from Remo fans. After the final whistle, he responded by blowing a kiss to a heckler and claimed it was meant for his wife.

Teixeira's remarks highlighted his frustration over the incident, emphasizing the negative influence of such actions.
