Neymar scored twice as Brazil ran out convincing 4-0 winners in an international friendly against Turkey at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul, last night.

The South Americans were in front after 20 minutes when the Barcelona forward connected with a long ball from Fernandinho to slot home. And barely four minutes later the lead was doubled.

Home defender Semih Kaya tried to intercept a pass from Danilo but could only turn the ball into his own net.

Brazil were in complete control two minutes before the interval with Neymar again playing a part, darting down the left before picking out Willian with a perfect ball which the Chelsea midfielder drilled low into the net.

And it was Neymar who rounded off the scoring on the hour, combining once more with Willian before providing the finishing touch.

Brazil will next take on Austria in another friendly on Tuesday, while Turkey return to Euro 2016 qualifying action on Sunday at home to Kazakhstan.
