Following an injury back in June, Neymar Jr return to the field in today’s 2-2 draw against Columbia in an international friendly match in Florida, and the star forward not only found the back of the net, but also found his face smashing into the ad hoardings of the Hard Rock Stadium!
Chasing the ball in the 73rd minute, the Paris Saint Germain front man was charged by the Columbian center back Davinson Sánchez in the box, as the Brazillian winger slided head on behind the sideline.

Casemiro opened up the scoreline in the 19th minute, but Los Cafeteros forward Luis Muriel scored a brace, one of them from the spot, giving his team a 2-1 lead over Tite’s star studded side by the 34th minute.
The 27 year old Samba forward equalized in the 58th minute, but couldn’t manage to provide a winner, and sustained a brutal charge from Sánchez, the Tottenham center back who, however wasn’t booked.
The good news is, Neymar didn’t sustain any injuries, and continued the game till the end whistle.
Brazil’s upcoming friendly is against Peru on 11th September, as both teams will travel to LA Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
