New Delhi: Brazil captain Neymar scored one goal and set up an injury-time winner as the five-time world champions opened their Copa America campaign with a desperate 2-1 win over Peru here Sunday.

Neymar nodded in a fifth-minute equaliser for the Brazilians -- his 44th international goal at the age of just 23 -- after Peru had taken a shock lead through Christian Cueva.

It looked as if Peru had done enough to earn a share of the points in Group C as the match headed into injury time with the score locked at 1-1.

But with the final whistle looming, Neymar advanced menacingly down the left flank and threaded a pass through a forest of bodies for the unmarked Shakhtar Donetsk striker Douglas.

Douglas, who had earlier squandered a golden chance created by Neymar, made no mistake with his second opportunity, calmly placing his shot beyond the despairing dive of Pedro Gallese.

The Barcelona star was in scintillating form throughout the night, showcasing all his skills to entertain fans. 

This clip of him embarrassing two Peru players was the highlight of the night.
