NEYMAR converted a penalty in the final minute of injury time on Wednesday to give Brazil a 2-1 win over Argentina in the first leg of the Superclassic of the Americas, a home-and-away series between the South American rivals with players from local clubs.
Neymar scored from the penalty spot after the referee called a hand ball inside the area, helping Brazil coach Mano Menezes escape jeers from the home fans in Goiania.
Argentina striker Juan Martinez opened the scoring in the 20th minute and Brazil midfielder Paulinho, apparently offside, equalized with a header off a cross by Neymar in the 27th. Neymar got the winner by sending a firm shot into the right upper corner after Leandro Desabato pushed Brazil?s Leandro Damiao and touched the ball with his arm inside the area.
The second leg will be in Resistencia, Argentina, on October 3. Brazil won last year's series 2-0 on aggregate.
