The striker Neymar has narrowed the gap with the legend Pele to four international goals with the Brazilian national team, having scored a brace from calm penalty kicks that contributed to his country's 5-1 victory over host South Korea.

In front of a packed stadium in the South Korean capital, Neymar's starting participation was surprising after he injured his foot during training on Wednesday.
