Neymar became just the third Brazilian to score in at least three editions of the World Cup (2014, 2018, 2022), along with Pelé (1958, 1962, 1966, 1970) and Ronaldo (1998, 2002, 2006).

Argentina, which won its third World Cup title in Qatar in 2022, secured a place at the 2026 event before beating Brazil 4-1 on Tuesday after Bolívia failed to beat Uruguay in an earlier game.
