A month and a half after being hired, Neymar finally scored his first goal with the shirt of Al-Hilal, this Tuesday (3), in a game of the Asian Champions League. The Brazilian striker scored the second goal in his team’s victory over Nassaji Mazandaran, from Iran, 3-0, at the Azadi Stadium, in the city of Tehran, the Iranian capital.
Neymar’s goal came in the 13th minute of the second half. In the quick attack on the home team’s defense, Al-Dawsari gave a great pass to the Brazilian, who hit it from the edge of the area, left-handed, with no chance of saving goalkeeper Rashid Mazaheri.
The Brazilian’s first goal came in his fifth official game for the Saudi team. Last week, he had a great opportunity to score for the first time for his new team. But the attacker ended up wasting a penalty kick. Without goals, he had been standing out with good assists for his teammates.

The match featured two expulsions, one for each side: Al-Faraj (Al-Hilal) and Houshmand (Nassaji), both in the first half.

The match was valid for the second round of the group stage of the Asian Champions League. Neymar’s team leads Group D, with four points.
In recent weeks, expectations for Neymar’s first goal have been overshadowed by alleged disagreements between the striker and the team’s coach, Portuguese Jorge Jesus, formerly of Flamengo. Spanish newspapers stated that the Brazilian even asked for the coach’s resignation, which was denied by Neymar himself days later.
