Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has spoken of fears over his fitness holding up following a broken metatarsal in February and he was forced to withstand some robust challenges before a wonderful solo effort made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute – his 55th international goal sending him level with Romario in third on Brazil’s all-time scoring charts.APITA O ÁRBITRO!
