Neymar scored the winning goal as Brazil defeated Colombia 2-1 to maintain their 2018 World Cup qualifying resurgence on Tuesday. Barcelona superstar Neymar swept home a 74th-minute strike at Manaus’s Arena Amazonia to settle a pulsating encounter between the two rivals. It was a sweet victory for Neymar, who has unhappy memories from recent encounters with Colombia. The 24-year-old suffered a tournament-ending injury against Colombia during Brazil’s ill-fated 2014 World Cup campaign. A year later Neymar was sent off in a stormy battle between the two sides at the 2015 Copa America in Chile, and subsequently banned for four matches. Neymar’s second-half winner came after Brazil had taken the lead in the second minute through Inter Milan defender Miranda, heading home his first ever international goal on his 31st birthday. But Colombia fought back and forced an equaliser when Marquinhos headed into his home net nine minutes before half-time. The win saw Braz
