Brazil beat Croatia in FIFA World Cup warm-up as Neymar makes return


Neymar scored a superb opening goal in his first match since February as Brazil defeated Croatia 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday.

The Paris Saint-Germain star came on at half-time and blasted home in front of the Kop with 69 minutes gone, four years on from his double against the same opponents at the 2014 World Cup, before Roberto Firmino added a late second.

Neymar’s strike was the best moment in the match in which both sets of players seemed eager to keep injury risks to a minimum, with less than two weeks to go until the start of this year’s World Cup finals.
