First Saudi hiccup for Neymar

For his first start with Al-Hilal, Neymar was unable to spare his team a disappointing result.

This Monday evening, the Riyadh club had to share the points with Navbahor Namangan (1-1), as part of the first day of the Asian Champions League.

A small underperformance for the Saudis against the valiant Uzbeks, who even held on to victory until the 100e minute of play (90e+10).

Barely involved in his team’s goal, Neymar stood out above all by receiving a warning for a bad gesture against an opponent.
