Messi and Neymar shine in friendlies

Two barcelona players shine in their respective international friendly games, with wins for Brazil with Neymar and Argentina with Lionel Messi.

Brazil defeated Turkey in istambul with an easy 4-0, this marks the fifth consecutive win for coach Dunga after taking the hotseat following the traumatic World Cup where they lost against Germany in semi-finals with a 1-7 final score.

This is the sixth match lost for Turkey played in front of a packed Sukru Saracoglu.

The first goal came from Neymar just 19 minutes after the start of the match after picking a cross from Fernandinho. Five minutes later, Turkish defender Suat Kaya scored in his own net under pressure from Luiz Adriano.

Just before the halftime, Willian scored the third thanks to a Neymar cross. Neymar scored his second one in the 60th minute with a neat on-two with Willian.

Argentina won Croatia in London with a score of 2-1 and with Carlos Tevez having ended his three-year international exile. The last match played by Tevez for argentina was at 2011 Copa America, and he made his comeback after being recalled by the new Argentinian coach Gerardo Martino.

Lionel Messi scored the winner in a penalty at 57th minute after an early opener for Croatia just 11 minutes after the start and and an equalizer from Ansaldi just 30 minutes later.

The last four matches of Argentina have ended with three victories and one defeat after the 1-0 loss against Germany in the last World Cup final.

This was also the first defeat for Croatia in the last five games, but it was mitigated by the fact that Croatian coach Niko Kovac had left the first XI in Zagreb to prepare for the encounter with Group H rivals Milan, thus playing with the B team.

In other friendlies, Netherlands lost 3-2 to Mexico prior to the crucial Euro 2016 match against Latvia, Belgium beat Iceland with a 3-2 and Estonia won his match against Norway with a score of 1-0.
