In a recent match, Brazilian forward Neymar experienced a forgettable encounter when his national team faced Venezuela on home turf, resulting in a 1-1 draw. However, Neymar’s ordeal did not end there, as an overzealous fan threw an unusual object at him after the game’s conclusion.
Hosting Venezuela on the morning of October 13, Brazil, with two consecutive wins in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, had high hopes of securing three more points. In reality, they came quite close to victory, leading Venezuela until the 85th minute when Bello equalized with a graceful lob.
Despite failing to extend Brazil’s winning streak, Neymar left his mark on the match with a brilliantly executed corner kick, setting up defender Gabriel for the opening goal early in the second half. Nevertheless, some fans berated and viewed him as the culprit.
As the final whistle resounded, there were even fans who threw a peculiar object resembling a bag of popcorn at Neymar. At that moment, the 31-year-old striker, currently playing for Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, left the pitch with a profoundly disappointed expression.
Neymar’s disappointment transformed into anger when he suddenly found himself targeted by an unfamiliar object thrown from the stands. Immediately, this artistically inclined player looked up and exchanged heated words with the offending fan.
If those around him had not intervened in time, Neymar, agitated as he was, might have taken matters into his own hands against the provoking individual. As his teammates attempted to escort him into the tunnel, Brazil’s number 10 persistently pointed towards the stands, venting his frustration to an extreme degree.
