#4 Brazil vs Japan – 2013 Confederation Cup
Less than three minutes into the first game of the 2013 Confederations Cup and Brazil already had the upper hand against Japan. Marcelo with the ball at his feet on the edge of the left wing prepared to send it in towards Fred.
The pressure was all on Brazil because as the hosts of the 2014 World Cup, they had made the cut for the Confederation Cup, but despite that, they were always going to be the favourites at any tournament.
The ball comes in from the Los Blancos left-back and it comes in with pace, pinpoint towards Fred. The Fluminense forward chested it down, ready to take possession, but Neymar had other ideas.
With all the pressure on his shoulders of wearing the iconic No. 10 jersey, the 24-year-old timed his shot to perfection and half-volleyed the ball past the helpless Japanese keeper, landing right on the Puskas list for the second time in as many years, but losing out to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
