Brazil and Nigeria Draw in 2019 Friendly as Neymar Exits with Apparent Injury

Brazil's winless run extended to four matches as they could only draw 1-1 with Nigeria at Singapore's National Stadium on Sunday, in a fixture which saw Neymar forced off due to injury after just 12 minutes.

The Paris Saint-Germain star left the pitch with what looked like a hamstring injury when the score was 0-0.

He was replaced by Philippe Coutinho before goals from Joe Aribo and Casemiro either side of half-time meant the spoils were shared. Brazil remain without a win since the Copa America final in July.

What's Next?

Sunday's clash was Brazil's last fixture of 2019, but Nigeria are back in action against Togo on Thursday.
