Neymar was escorted off the field by his fellow Brazil teammates after he was hit in the head by a box of popcorn thrown by a fan in the stands.

The Brazilian fans at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba expressed their disappointment with the national team's performance with jeers, whistles, and, in the case of one individual, a box of popcorn hurled in Neymar's direction as he made his way to the dressing room.

Struck by the popcorn box, Neymar looked into the crowd, confronted the presumed perpetrator, and pointed an accusatory finger in their direction.

This incident occurred at the end of a 2026 World Cup qualifier, where the Selecao had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw against Venezuela on their home turf.

In that match, Neymar had delivered the corner that allowed Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes to score the opening goal, but Eduard Bello managed an acrobatic equaliser for the visiting team.

It's worth noting that despite becoming Brazil's all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing the legendary Pele, Neymar has been struggling to find his top form since his summer transfer from PSG to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.
