Last night, during the first round of qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, Brazil crushed Bolivia 5-1.
Neymar, who has 125 caps and 78 goals for the national team, scored the fourth goal of the match, making him the all-time leading goal scorer for the Seleção, surpassing the legend Pelé, who had 77 goals.
After missing a penalty in the first half, the Al-Hilal attacking midfielder finally found the back of the net in the second half with a beautiful play initiated by Rodrygo in the 61st minute. Moved to tears and congratulated by his teammates, Neymar didn’t forget to pay tribute to « O Rei » by pointing his fingers towards the sky.
In the other match of the night in South America, Uruguay defeated Chile 3-1 at home, with a brace from De la Cruz and a goal from Valverde. Arturo Vidal scored the final goal of the match for the visitors.
