Neymar brace lifts Brazil over Scotland

Brazil wonderkid Neymar underlined his growing reputation with both goals in a 2-0 friendly win over Scotland at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Sunday.


Neymar broke the deadlock with a fine finish in the 42nd minute. Ramires started the move with a long pass out to Andre Santos on the left wing and his cross picked out Neymar in the penalty area from where he curled a low shot into the far corner. Neymar then scored a 77th minute penalty after winning the spot-kick by tempting Adam into a clumsy foul.


Elsewhere, Lionel Messi dazzled, and Argentina dominated, but the United States still eked out a 1-1 draw.
Juan Agudelo scored from a rebound from a Landon Donovan corner in the 59th minute to give the hosts the lead after Esteban Cambiasso put Argentina ahead in the 42nd minute, whenu00a0 Messi made a scintillating run and passed through the legs of US captain Carlos Bocanegra.
