The match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens marked the competitive return of Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar, who has not played for club or country since injuring his right foot in a June friendly against Qatar.

Casemiro opened the scoring for Brazil in the 19th minute with a header off a corner kick from Neymar.
Colombia quickly answered and took the lead off two goals from Luis Muriel. The first came off a converted penalty in the 25th minute, with the Atalanta striker netting his second nine minutes later on a right-footed shot.
Neymar then levelled for the Brazilians in the 58th minute on a left footed shot, set up by his former Barelona teammate Dani Alves. It was Neymar’s goal for club or country since May (vs. Angers) and his first goal for Brazil since November.
