Neymar Joins Pelé in Elite Club: Second Brazilian to Score at Four World Cups

Brazilian superstar Neymar added another chapter to his storied career on a bittersweet night for the Seleção. In the 2026 World Cup round of 16 clash against Norway, which Brazil lost 2-1, the 34-year-old winger converted a late penalty to etch his name into the history books. That goal made Neymar only the second Brazilian — after the immortal Pelé — to score at four different World Cup tournaments. Having previously found the net in 2014, 2018, and 2022, Neymar's strike in 2026 cements his legacy as one of the greatest to wear the yellow jersey, even as the team's journey ended earlier than hoped.
