Neymar shines for Brazil

VIENNA (AP):

Neymar scored a superb second-half goal as Brazil defeated Austria 3-0 in their final warm-up game ahead of the World Cup yesterday.

Set up by Willian in the 63th minute, Neymar wrong-footed Austria defender Aleksandar Dragovic with a quick move and converted through the legs of goalkeeper Heinz Lindner for Brazil's second goal.

Neymar started for the first time since recovering from a foot injury that kept him out for three months. He also scored as a second-half substitute against Croatia a week ago.

Gabriel Jesus gave Brazil the lead after 36 minutes with a slick finish from a tight angle, while Philippe Coutinho added a third 20 minutes from the end.

Brazil play Switzerland next Sunday in their World Cup opener.
