Two-Goal Neymar Jr Closes On Pele Record As Brazil Thrash South Korea 5-1
Neymar scored two penalties to close on Pele's goal record for Brazil as they fired a World Cup warning with a 5-1 thrashing of South Korea on Thursday. The Paris Saint-Germain forward netted his 72nd and 73rd goals for his country to come within striking distance of the legendary Pele's 77 for Brazil. Neymar upstaged South Korean captain Son Heung-min, the joint Premier League Golden Boot winner who was kept quiet by a rampant Brazil in front of 65,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
