VIDEO – Neymar finally scores with Al Hilal

Neymar was finally able to unlock his goal tally with the Saudi team Al-Hilal.

Neymar can breathe! After his fifth match played, the Brazilian striker was finally able to taste the joy of scoring. This Tuesday, he ended the drought by finding the fault during the match pitting his Al Hilal team against the Iranians of Nassaji Mazandaran.

At 58e minute, and while the Saudis were outnumbered, he scored the break goal by successfully taking a pass from Al Dawsari, he armed an unstoppable left shot at the entrance to the area and his attempt made fly.

Neymar is relieved, because his debut on Saudi soil was not very encouraging. He even missed a penalty during the duel against Al Shabab (2-0). It was the 17the failure of his career in this exercise.

Note that Neymar’s previous goal on the club scene, and if we exclude off-season friendly matches, dates back to February 19 during a French championship match against Lille. That’s almost eight months of waiting. An eternity for a player of his standing.
