VIDEO, Brazil - Croatia. Neymar Matches Pele's Record

The Brazilian national team's forward Neymar opened the scoring in the quarterfinal match against Croatia at the 2022 World Cup. This goal was the 77th for the 30-year-old player in the national team, matching the legendary Brazilian forward Pelé's tally. Now, Neymar and Pelé share the scoring record for the Brazil national team. This is reported by Sport-express.ru.

If Brazil wins against Croatia, they will face the winner of the Netherlands - Argentina match in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup.

The regular time of the match ended without goals. Brazil had a slight advantage but could only capitalize on it towards the end of the first extra time. Neymar took matters into his own hands and organized the goal.

However, the Brazilians were unable to maintain their winning score, as Croatia equalized in the 117th minute. Oršić's cross from the left wing found Petković, who sent a powerful strike from outside the penalty area into the net.
