Neymar returned to action despite doubts over his fitness, having only recently recovered from an injury since moving to Al Hilal. He has yet to play for his new club in Saudi Arabia. However, the 31-year-old star has still played for Brazil.
Neymar's emotions when returning to play and score for the Brazilian team
This move may cause Neymar to receive criticism from Al Hilal fans. But it can be seen that focusing on playing for the Brazilian team is Neymar's number 1 priority at present, before the 2026 World Cup, which may be the last of his career.
Neymar played very energetically and had a chance to open the score from the 11m mark in the 17th minute, but his shot was too weak and was saved by goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra (Bolivia). With the overwhelming match, the Brazilian team quickly opened the score 1-0 thanks to Rodrygo in the 24th minute. At the end of the first half, Neymar had a solo performance that almost increased the score to 2-0, but still could not beat goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra.
In the second half, in the 47th minute, Neymar made a beautiful assist for Raphinha to increase the score to 2-0. Just 6 minutes later, Neymar continued to contribute to the situation where Rodrygo scored the second goal of the match, increasing the gap to 3-0 for the Brazilian team.
In the 61st minute, Neymar scored his own goal after missing several chances to increase the score to 4-0 for the Brazilian team. In the 78th minute, striker Abrego scored to reduce the score to 1-4 for the Bolivia team after a surprise counterattack. But in the 90+3 minute of injury time, Neymar made his mark on his return to play for the Brazilian team with the goal that sealed a resounding 5-1 victory.
Neymar has officially surpassed the scoring record of "King of Football" Pele
