Neymar was playing in typically cheeky fashion during Brazil's international friendly against Austria, embarrassing a defender before finishing off a superb second goal for Brazil.

In his first footballing start since suffering a broken metatarsal in February, Neymar received some rough treatment from the opposition players.

However, instead of reacting, the 26-year-old let his football do the talking and it delivered a stunning blow.

Willian dinked a pin-point pass to Neymar on the left-hand side of the box who took it down brilliantly to face Aleksandar Dragovic.

Some fancy footwork sent the centre-back falling to the ground to leave Neymar clear to slot the ball coolly under Heinz Lindner to double Brazil's lead.

The goal meant Neymar is now tied with Romario as the 'Selecao's third all time scorer with 55 goals.
