Brazil vs. Bolivia: Neymar scores a double and surpasses Pelé as the top scorer in the history of ‘Scratch’ | VIDEO

Brazil crushed Bolivia 5-1 in the last match of the first round of the Qualifiers. And, without a doubt, the most outstanding fact of the night was the historical record that was broken Neymar. The Al Hilal attacker scored the fourth and fifth goals, thus surpassing Pelé as the top scorer in the history of ‘Scratch’.

The former Santos attacker reached 79 goals in 125 games, leaving behind the ‘King of Soccer’ with 77 goals in 91 games played with Brazil.

When the clock showed 14 minutes, Rodrygo took a cross back that hit Jusino’s hand. The referee decided to call a penalty in favor of the home team. Neymar grabbed the ball to declare the maximum penalty.

However, after a ‘paradinha’, the former Barcelona player took a weak shot that was well controlled by Guillermo Viscarra, Bolivian goalkeeper for The Strongest. Faced with this unexpected situation, the Brazilian public was surprised.

‘Ney”s first goal came when he was in front of the green team’s goal in the 61st minute. In this way, the former Barcelona player has made history tonight, as he has surpassed Pelé in many points, who is considered the best soccer player of all time in that country.

The second goal of the former PSG came in the 93rd minute. The scorer defined a bit against the Bolivian goalkeeper, who could have done something else to prevent his goal from falling. Neymar’s big night ended with a flourish.
