Neymar Makes Right with Young Fan After Accidentally Hitting Him with a Ball

A good-guy gesture from Neymar went wrong, so the Brazilian star made it right.

Following what was intended to be a wholly innocent move—performing a series of keepy-uppies before booting the ball into the crowd for the fans in attendance—a young fan was hit in the face.

The youngster was summoned to the Brazil team bus by manager Dunga, where he met Neymar and left with an autographed ball, a bruise that was quickly forgotten about and a memory for life.
