A mad fan threw a box of popcorn at NEYMAR’s head after Brazil tied Venezuela. His anger made him very angry.
The Samba Boys were ahead 1-0 thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes in the last five minutes of last night’s game, and it looked like they would keep their perfect record of qualifying for the World Cup. But they had to settle for a point because Eduard Bello scored a great bicycle kick late in the game to tie it up.
Because of last night’s loss, Brazil fell behind foes Argentina in the table, and fans at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba were quick to yell their anger when the game was over.
As the players left the field, there was a huge chorus of jeers and boos.
A tub of popcorn hit Neymar on the head as he was walking into the hallway. Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer.
The Al-Hilal star, who is still the most expensive football player in the world, looked up right away to see who was doing it in the seats.
As his teammates tried to pull him away, Neymar seemed to go off on a few rants.
Following this, he used more bad language while pointing to someone in the crowd.
He was lucky that the front of his shirt pulled him away before more problems started. Salomon Rondon, who used to play for West Brom, Newcastle, and Everton, got into a fight with Neymar earlier in the game. Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal was also annoyed by Neymar’s acts.
Just as the game was over, Bello made a rough challenge on Gerson, which led to a fight between both teams.
Brazil has won five world titles, but they have never been able to beat Venezuela at home until last night.
In World Cup qualifying, they had won 15 straight home games before the draw, which went back to 2015.
