Neymar returns from injury to help inspire Brazil to a 4-1 victory over South Korea as the favourites cruised through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup
Neymar converted a first-half penalty for his 76th goal with Brazil and move one shy of Pelé all-time scoring record with the national team.
Vinicius Junior opened the scoring inside seven minutes before Neymar added anot her from the penalty spot to move to 76 goals for his country, leaving him just one away from equalling Pele's all-time record tally. The five-time World Cup winners had not scored four goals in a knockout game at the tournament since 1998.
The Brazilian legend had said he would watch the game from the Sao Paulo hospital to where he was admitted last week amid ongoing treatment for colon cancer, and supporters in Doha's Stadium 974 unfurled a banner with a get well soon message to him.
