Following a narrow victory in the King Cup, just hours ago, Al Hilal played their Roshn Saudi League fixture against Al Shabab. The Riyadh side managed to clinch an emphatic 2-0 victory. While fans continue to celebrate the perfect win, Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. has delivered a three-word response to his teammates. Undoubtedly, the tension surrounding the soccer veteran’s performances is very high considering the hefty price tag attached to his name.

However, once again, Neymar failed to make a direct impact on the scoresheet. The ex-PSG star missed an opportunity to score his first goal as he failed to convert a penalty.

Neymar pens three-word message following Al Hilal’s victory

Following the victory, Al Hilal star Neymar wrote a three-word message to his team. The Brazil international took to his social media and posted two pictures along with his teammates. He also wrote a caption saying, “Great game guys.” Certainly, Al Hilal’s No. 10 was satisfied with the three points, as they were able to extend their lead in the table. However, his penalty miss has unfortunately become a point of discussion. What exactly happened?

After a goalless first half, a 68th-minute goal from new signing Kalidou Koulibaly and a 76th-minute strike from Aleksandar Mitrovic helped Jorge Jesus’ side clinch a perfect 2-0 victory. The win keeps them at the top of the table with 20 points. Additionally, this was Mitrovic’s sixth goal in the Saudi Pro League in just six games. He also has an assist to his name.

All about Neymar’s penalty miss for Al Hilal

During the match, in the 24th minute, Al Hilal was awarded a penalty. However, it was overturned by VAR. Later in the 37th minute, Jorge Jesus’ side was again awarded a kick from the spot. As usual, penalty expert Neymar was given a chance to break the deadlock and also register his first official goal for Al Hilal. Sadly, the playmaker failed to convert it.

Al Shabab’s Kim Seung-gyu was able to outsmart the former PSG man as he dove to the correct side to save the penalty kick. Indeed, had Neymar managed to put it back in the net, he would have gotten his first goal. So far, he has registered just two assists. Certainly, Neymar must bounce back and try rallying for his first goal. Time is ticking, and if he doesn’t score soon, problems may be on the horizon.
