Brazil has been living some special moments during the World Cup, most on the pitch but Pelé's situation off the pitch has kept fans praying for their icon's health. Luckily for them, the former ace seems to be on his way back to recovery and the Seleçao's men were sure to praise the footballer when they scored against the Asian side.
The man everyone was waiting for to score was Neymar, and the footballer delivered with a classy outing that was capped with a penalty by the team's No.10.
The curious moment before the Brazilian ace took the shot came when the team's supporters displayed a banner in support of Pelé, and moments later, the PSG star scored the second game of the evening for Brazil.
NEYMAR MAKES IT TWO
