26-year-old Neymar scored a brilliant goal on his return from injury as Brazil defeated Croatia 2-0 in their 2018 FIFA World Cup international friendly match.

Brazil’s two goals were scored by Neymar and Rorberto Firmino.

The Paris St‑Germain star smashed a shot in off the bar after a slick move involving Chelsea's Willian and Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho.

Roberto Firmino scored in added time to seal Brazil’s victory.

Brazil, who became the first team to qualify for the World Cup in March, face Austria next Monday before starting their Group E campaign against Switzerland on 18th of June.

Neymar’s return is very timely as he missed more than thee months since injuring his ankle in February.

In another match, Spain is currently leading Switzerland 1-0.

In other matches Mexico defeated Scotland 1-0.

Meanwhile in another match yesterday, defending champions Germany was defeated by Austria 2-1 in another World Cup international friendly match.
