Brazil vs Senegal: Watch highlights as Roberto Firmino shines and Neymar sets record
The Liverpool striker opened the scoring in Singapore before Famara Diedhiou earned a draw
Brazil drew 1-1 with Senegal on Thursday in a friendly in Singapore with PSG superstar Neymar bringing up his 100th cap.
Roberto Firmino put the five-time World Cup winners in front in the eighth minute with a lob over the goalkeeper, but Famara Diedhiou equalized from the penalty spot just before the end of the first half. It was Brazil's third consecutive match without a win.
After lifting the Copa America title in July, Brazil has drawn 2-2 with Colombia and lost 1-0 to Peru. It will have a chance to end the winless streak on Sunday in a friendly against Nigeria, also in Singapore.
Neymar could not add to his 61 goals, one behind Ronaldo, as he became the youngest Brazilian of all time to bring up a century of appearances.
"If I said this doesn't bother us, I would be lying," said defender Thiago Silva. "In the last three matches we could not play our best. Today we had the best opportunities, but we failed in the details, in the last passes to score."
Brazil now face Nigeria on Sunday in Singapore.
