Neymar dazzles as Santos trounces Bolivar in Copa
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 12 - 05 - 2012

Neymar scored two goals and set up five others in Santos' 8-0 thrashing of Bolivar Thursday, helping the defending Copa Libertadores champion move into the quarterfinals of the Latin American club competition.
Universidad de Chile also advanced after routing Deportivo Quito 6-0 to erase a 4-1 first-leg loss, while Fluminense moved on with a 2-1 home win over fellow Brazilian side Internacional. The teams had drawn 0-0 in the first leg.
Neymar scored his 105th and 106th career goals with Santos, becoming the team's top scorer in the post-Pele era. Santos advanced 9-2 on aggregate after a 2-1 loss two weeks ago in the high altitude of La Paz. Neymar came into the match level with Joao Paulo and Serginho Chulapa on 104 goals since Pele stopped playing in the 1970s. Pele scored 1,091 goals with Santos.
Elano and Paulo Henrique Ganso also scored twices each, while Alan Kardec and Borges both added one.
Santos fell one goal short from its biggest win ever in the Copa Libertadores, a 9-1 rout of Paraguay's Cerro Porteno in 1962, when Pele was still in action. The competition scoring record was the 11-2 win by Penarol of Uruguay over Valencia of Venezuela in 1970.
“I'm glad to be making history with Santos and to be doing what other great players did in the past,” Neymar said. “I'm happy to be part of this history.”
Santos will next face Velez Sarsfield of Argentina, which Wednesday eliminated Colmbia's Atletico Nacional 2-1 on aggregate.
Universidad de Chile erased the 4-1 loss in the high altitude of Quito to move on to face Paraguay's Libertad in the quarterfinals. Striker Junior Fernandes scored twice in the first half and forward Henriquez Iturra added two more after the break. Marcelo Diaz and Eugenio Mena also scored for the Chilean side.
Deportivo Quito didn't have a single shot on goal the entire match.
Striker Fred and defender Eusebio scored a goal each as Fluminense edged Internacional in Rio de Janeiro.
Fluminense, which had the competition's best campaign in the group stage, will face six-time Copa Libertadores champion Boca Juniors of Argentina in the quarterfinals. The two teams have already played each other in the group stage, with both teams recording away wins.
Brazil striker Leandro Damiao opened the scoring in the 14th minute at the Engenhao stadium, but Eusebio equalized in the 16th to put Internacional ahead on the away goals rule, but Fred scored the Brazilian's second in first-half stoppage time.
The other quarterfinal will be an all-Brazilian clash between Corinthians and Vasco da Gama.
