Neymar scores, salutes Ronaldinho

Playing his 200th game for Santos

 

Neymar scored when he side Santo faced Ronaldinho's Mineiro in the Brazilian League. The match ended 2-2 apiece. Playing only one day after scoring twice for Brazil against Japan in Poland, Neymar did not show any sign of jet leg to score a stunning individual goal in the 2-2 draw with Atletico Mineiro.

He needed only 12 minutes of his 200th club appearing - a fact he celebrated by wearing a special "No 200" shirt - to make an impact against Ronaldinho's Minero.



He recieved the ball with his back to goal just inside the opposing half, flicked it around the outside of one marker and immediately slipped it pass a second to leave both players sprawling on the ground. He then carried the ball into the penalty area, cut inside another defender and fired a low shot into the corner of the goal to put his side 2-0 ahead.

He only arrived in Brazil on the morning of the game after the 20-hour trip from Wroclaw where he faced Japan in a friendly.

Atletico Mineiro hit back with goals from Bernard and former Manchester City forward Jo before the half hour.
