Ugly action in the AFC premier league: Neymar blows the fuses at Al-Hilal

While Neymar (31) shone with his class in his first match for Al-Hilal (6-0 win against Al-Riyadh), the ugly side of the matter comes to light for the first time in the desert in the opening match of the AFC Champions League group stage Brazilians come to light. In any case, it is a match to forget for the team’s new superstar.

Neymar scored neither a goal nor an assist after the final whistle against Uzbek outsider Navbahor Namangan. Instead, the entire game is riddled with frustration and nervousness on Al-Hilal’s part. PSG’s new signing is no exception. On the contrary: after an hour Neymar is no longer in control of himself.

The gifted dribbler is about to take a quick free kick when opponent Abror Ismailov provocatively stops in front of the ball. Too much for Neymar. First he pushes Ismailov roughly to the ground, after which he also shoots the Namangan player with the ball.

Neymar comes by and is sent away

Neymar makes light of the action. Although a red card was whistled for the Brazilian on the pitch, it only resulted in a yellow card – also for Ismailov.

There was also football: it was only in the 10th minute of injury time that Al-Hilal defender Ali Al-Boleahi managed to equalize. The embarrassment has been averted, but Neymar’s debut in the AFC Champions League is still not quite worthy of a top star.
