On a Friday evening, Neymar, Brazil’s top goal scorer of all time, graced the Saudi Pro League for the first time as part of Al-Hilal’s squad, making his debut appearance by stepping onto the pitch during the final 26 minutes of the match with an assist, witnessing his new team’s emphatic 6-1 victory over Al-Riyadh.
The 31-year-old star replaced fellow Brazilian Michael in the 64th minute and orchestrated a crucial play, setting up Malcom to slam the ball into the net and secure Al-Hilal’s fourth goal in the 83rd minute. Prior to Neymar’s entry in the match Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh 6-1, Aleksandar Mitrovic kick-started the scoring for Al-Hilal with a penalty in the 30th minute, setting the stage for Yassir Al-Shahrani and Nasser Al-Dawsari to extend their team’s lead, creating a comfortable advantage for the league leaders. It’s noteworthy that Neymar, who surpassed Pele’s record as Brazil’s all-time top scorer with a splendid performance in the 5-1 victory against Bolivia the previous Friday, had been sidelined for Al-Hilal since his move to Saudi Arabia due to an ankle injury.
As the match Al Hilal vs Al Riyadh 6-1 progressed, Neymar bore witness to a curious moment when Al-Hilal’s captain Salem Al-Dawsari chose to take an 87th-minute penalty, a decision met with jeers from the fans while Neymar observed. The Saudi Arabia winger successfully converted the penalty and added his side’s sixth goal in injury time, concluding an eventful debut.
