Brazil's Neymar: It was a dream to score 4

Neymar is celebrating another milestone after becoming one of the few players to score four times in a match.

Neymar was celebrating another milestone with Brazil after becoming one of the few players to score four times in a match for the Selecao and moving into fifth place in the all-time scoring list ahead of Bebeto.

Neymar scored all four goals in Brazil's 4-0 win over Japan in a friendly in Singapore, taking his tally to 40 goals in 58 matches with the national team.

Only Zico (48 goals), Romario (55), Ronaldo (62) and Pele (77) have scored more than the 22-year-old Barcelona striker in official matches.
