World Cup 2022.. Neymar equals the number of legend “Pele” with Brazil

Brazilian Neymar da Silva scored the first goal for the Samba team against Croatia in the match currently being held between them, in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Brazil national team goal came through Neymar da Silva in the 106th minute, after he brilliantly dodged the Croatian goalkeeper and hit the ball into the Croatian net.

Neymar equals Pele's historic record

According to the “Opta” network, which specializes in football statistics, Neymar was able to equal the number of Brazilian football legend Pele, as the best scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team, after he equaled him with a score of 77 goals.

The list of the best scorers in the history of Brazil included 5 players:

Pele - 77 goals
Neymar - 77 goals
Ronaldo - 62 goals
Romario - 56 goals
Zico - 48 goals

Neymar is the only one in the list of the best scorers in Brazil throughout the aforementioned history who is still playing until now, so he has an opportunity to increase his goal tally with the Brazil national team in the coming period and go far with this record.

Brazil, if it beats Croatia today and qualifies for the 2022 World Cup semi-finals, will face the winner from the Argentina-Netherlands match, which will be held at exactly nine o'clock today as well.
