Neymar flick: Brazil star's disrespectful' trick splits opinion after win over Costa Rica

Showboating Brazil star Neymar showed flashes of his brilliant best as the Selecao made a giant stride towards the group stages on Friday.

Tite's side were drawing 0-0 as the game moved into second-half injury time, but they struck twice at the death to move top of Group D.

Philippe Coutinho latched onto Gabriel Jesus's knock-down to prod home before Neymar sealed victory deep into six minutes added on.

The PSG star had cut a frustrated figure for much of the game, riding several challenges before being denied a penalty by VAR after on-field referee Bjorn Kuipers had initially awarded a spot-kick in the closing stages.

Neymar's emotions boiled over when he collapsed to his knees in tears on the final whistle, but not before he had produced a brilliant rainbow flick to round opponent Tejeda.

With the score already at 1-0, one Twitter user accused Neymar of being "direspectful", but many jumped online to hail the Brazilian superstar.
