Teammates? Who need 'em.
Neymar, captaining his side on Tuesday night, gave Brazil a 2-0 lead over Paraguay in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, scoring his 52nd goal for the Selecao by taking the ball from deep inside his own half, beating a pair of opponents down the line, and racing into the area.
Sure, the eventual effort was aided heavily by a deflection, but the lung-busting run - which covered some 70 yards - deserves praise.
4 - @neymarjr has scored four goals and has provided four assists in his last four home games for #Brazil in WC Qualifiers. Unstoppable.
