Neymar opens up his World Cup campaign with equalizing goal

It was always going to be Neymar.

The Brazilian star opened up his World Cup campaign with a weird, scuffed goal that tied the game up. Neymar mishit the shot, but he mishit it perfectly, as it traveled through a set of legs and found its way into the bottom corner. It was Neymar’s first World Cup goal.

Brazil conceded earlier off a Marcelo own goal.
