Neymar just isn't fair, man.
Brazil's talismanic attacker reached into his seemingly endless bag of tricks Thursday to humble Uruguay in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying action, the lithe star giving the Selecao a 3-1 lead by showing off both his blistering pace and sublime touch.
After outracing Sebastian Coates and leaving the cumbersome defender on his backside, Neymar dinked the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper with an audacious chip that arced majestically into the net.
Brazil, ultimately coming away with a 4-1 win on the night, is waltzing toward qualification for the 2018 World Cup, and Neymar's leading the way.
