In the match against Uruguay, Neymar fell to the ground

Previously, Brazil had 37 unbeaten matches in the World Cup qualifiers, which was the longest unbeaten record in the South American World Cup qualifiers, but it was ended today by Uruguay. According to ESPN statistics, Brazil lost to Uruguay by a margin of 2 goals for the first time in nearly 40 years. Their last net loss of 2 goals to Uruguay dates back to 1983.

After this game, both teams had 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points. Uruguay temporarily ranked second, while Brazil slipped to third place. The Samba Legion only scored 1 point in this international competition week, and their performance was disappointing.

What's even more headache inducing for the Brazilian team is the injury of their top star Neymar. During stoppage time in the first half, Neymar collided with Uruguayan player De La Cruz, causing a noticeable knee twist when his left foot landed. At the moment Neymar fell to the ground, he directly covered his knees and slapped the ground, feeling quite painful.

Neymar lay motionless on the ground, and the team doctor signaled to put on a stretcher. Later, he was lifted off the field by the stretcher. Lying on the stretcher, Neymar's face was filled with tears, giving people a premonition of his sadness.

Medical expert Brian Stert interpreted Neymar's injury and said, "It seems very likely that Neymar has torn his anterior cruciate ligament. Pay attention to the tibia moving forward and then bouncing back. This almost always means ligament damage."

In his career, Neymar has been plagued by numerous disasters. During his time in Paris, he was absent 27 times due to various physical and injury reasons, totaling over 700 days. This summer, Riyadh New Moon signed Neymar for a transfer fee of nearly 100 million euros and a 2-year salary of approximately 280 million euros. According to the German transfer market statistics, Neymar has only played 5 games for the new moon so far, including 3 league matches and 2 AFC Champions League matches, scoring a total of 4 goals.

Now, according to Global Television reporter Eric Faria, Neymar is suspected to have suffered a severe knee sprain and will undergo more detailed examination. Without any accidents, he will have to rest for a long time again this time, and can only wish Neymar a speedy recovery.
