Neymar scored twice as Brazil ran out convincing 4-0 winners in an international friendly against Turkey at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
The South Americans were in front after 20 minutes when the Barcelona forward connected with a long ball from Fernandinho to slot home.<\/p>\n
And barely three minutes later the lead was doubled. Home defender Semih Kaya tried to intercept a pass from Danilo but could only turn the ball into his own net.<\/p>\n
Brazil were in complete control two minutes before the interval with Neymar again playing a part, darting down the left before picking out Willian with a perfectly weighted ball which the Chelsea midfielder drilled low into the net.<\/p>\n
And it was Neymar who rounded off the scoring on the hour, combining once more with Willian before providing the finishing touch.<\/p>\n
Brazil will next take on Austria in another friendly on Tuesday, while Turkey return to Euro 2016 qualifying action on Sunday at home to Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
