Neymar Puts Paraguay To The Sword

U20 South American Championships: Day 2
Before the tournament started, Neymar was tagged as the main attraction. Today, he showed why he deserves that label. The young star set alight a game which was almost devoid of creativity and attacking flair. In a performance that had the crowd cheering and clapping, Neymar put four goals past Paraguay to give Brazil a 4x2 win.
The first half was a generally cagey affair, as both sides struggled to find rhythm. Defenses ruled supreme for the first twenty minutes, as most attacks fizzling out in their infancy. Brazil dominated possession, but were under-performing in attack, with only the triple-marked Neymar looking dangerous.
