Neymar got a chance to score for Brazil during their FIFA World Cup quarterfinal clash when Croatia conceded a freekick near the edge of the box. However, the freekick by the 30-year-old was deflected after it hit the Croatia wall. As Neymar took his shot, Brazilian legend and freekick specialist Roberto Carlos looked on with a smile on his face, setting social media abuzz. He had by side Rivaldo, the captain of the Brazil side that won the World Cup in 2002. Neymar equalled Pele as Brazil’s highest scorer as both players have now scored 77 goals each for the Selecao.
