‘Monster’ Neymar celebrates Olympic record

Neymar leading on Brazil

Brazil superstar Neymar is in celebration mood after writing his name in the history books as the player with the fastest goal in the history of the Olympics.
The Barcelona star needed just 15 seconds to put Brazil on the right track for the gold medal match as they ended up pounding Honduras 6-0 and it has been celebration galore for his heroics as the South American country edges closer to fulfilling their wish of wining a priceless Olympic football gold.

“Neymar truly is ‘O Monstro’, but in the nicest possible sense of the term. He’s a gift to the world of football. He’s incredibly talented and has a big influence on our games and on the squad. He had a lot of pressure on his shoulders; he deserves some respect,” said Brazil coach Rogerio Micale.
Brazil progressed to the final of the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament Rio 2016 after a comfortable 6-0 win against Honduras in Rio de Janeiro.
Neymar fired the hosts in front on 15 seconds with the fastest goal in Olympic history, before a first-half brace from Gabriel Jesus ensured Brazil enjoyed a three-goal advantage going into the break.
Marquinhos added Brazil’s fourth six minutes into the second half, while Luan’s 79th-minute goal and an injury-time penalty from Neymar capped off a commanding performance.
Brazil’s semi-final victory means they will face Germany in the gold medal match at the Maracana on Saturday.
