Brazil forward, Neymar Jr, on Tuesday, joined an exclusive list of international goalscoring records, alongside football icons, Pele and Lionel Messi.
Neymar became only the third player in the history of South American football to score 75 international goals.
The Paris Saint-Germain star reached the mark with his goal against Tunisia, with Brazil winning 5-1 in a friendly tie.
The 30-year-old scored from the penalty spot in the 29th minute of the game as Richarlison, Pedro and Raphinha (two goals) were also on target.
Neymar’s tally is now 75, which he has managed in 121 games for Brazil, while Pele scored 77 goals in only 92 games for Brazil and Messi has 88 goals for Argentina in 163 games.
