Scoring lead held by Brazil’s Neymar

-

It again was Neymar who fully lived up to expectatio­ns of the 200 million football fans in Brazil with flair and lethal finishing, making the difference with first-half strikes against an African opponent that fought hard for one half before succumbing.

Neymar used an array of spin moves and delicate touches to get by players, delighting the crowd in Brasilia — including Britain’s Prince Harry.

Neymar has four goals from three games to lead the top scorer’s standings, edging a group of five players with three goals.
