Despite winning against Peru, Neymar's complaint about the match

Neymar Jr has returned to action, and he's done it in the best possible way. Despite not yet making his debut with Al Hilal, the Brazilian saw action in the recent matches with Brazil against Bolivia and Peru. This has left the green and yellow team undefeated and neck and neck with Argentina at the top of the standings.

The match in Lima yesterday was extremely challenging. Despite taking the lead in the first half with a goal from Richarlison, which was ultimately disallowed by VAR due to offside, Fernando Diniz's team had a tough time in the Andean country. Brazil dominated possession, but the resolute defense of Juan Reynoso's team was evident.

Nevertheless, an unusual goal in the final minute tilted the odds in favor of Neymar and his teammates, allowing them to leave the Peruvian capital as victors after completing the first two rounds of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. It's worth noting that Marquinhos' goal wasn't quite enough to completely satisfy Neymar.

Looking ahead, Jr will be looking to make a significant impact for both Al Hilal and the Brazilian national team. His skill, creativity, and ability to change the course of a match make him a vital asset for any team he plays for.

Neymar's Frustration

After the match, the former PSG player stated that Peru had played an excellent game with outstanding players. However, he admitted that the match was very challenging and emphasized the condition of the pitch: "The field was in terrible shape, but we managed to achieve something good in the end, and what matters is the three points," declared the current Saudi Pro League star to Movistar Deportes. Neymar's frustration with the match conditions was evident, but his focus remained on the team's performance and the importance of securing the three points in the qualifiers. As one of Brazil's key players, Neymar's return to the national team after his absence due to injury was met with excitement and anticipation from fans and the soccer comunnity around the world.
