Neymar hat-trick as Brazil put eight past China

Neymar scored a hat-trick as Brazil hammered China 8-0 in an international friendly in Recife. The hosts had little trouble in seeing off the Asian side, with six of the goals coming in a one-sided second half.

Ramires, Lucas, Hulk, an own goal from Liu Jianye and an Oscar penalty completed the rout.

The last time Brazil scored eight times was in 2006, when they defeated Swiss team Lucerne in a warm-up game before the 2006 World Cup.
