Neymar ties Pelé's record but loses again at World Cup

Associated Press  

AL RAYYAN, Qatar — Neymar walked off the field with teammate Dani Alves by his side, tears still rolling down the Brazil forward’s cheeks. I’m not closing any doors to the Seleção, but I’m also not saying 100% that I want to be back.” Neymar scored Friday to move level with Pelé as Brazil’s all-time leading scorer with 77 goals, but the Seleção ended up losing to Croatia 4-2 in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals after the match finished 1-1 after extra time. “That’s the one with the most pressure, and he would be the player with the most quality and mental preparedness to take the shot.” Neymar scored his goal in extra time with a right-footed shot after getting through the defense and dribbling past the Croatia goalkeeper to match Pelé’s record. Neymar also didn’t play in the last four of the tournament that Brazil hosted eight years ago. Neymar damaged ligaments in his ankle in Brazil’s opening win against Serbia, and his participation in the rest of the tournament was in doubt because of the injury.
