Al-Hilal 6-1 Al-Riyadh: Neymar makes debut with assist and brilliant display

Neymar was all smiles as he finally made his debut for Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on Friday evening.

The former Barcelona and PSG man came off the bench in the second half and though he failed to score was involved in some neat attacking play in a game his team dominated.

It was the Brazilian's first appearance since his £78million move to the Middle East in the summer, with the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Bono also lining up for the league leaders.

Mitrovic was on the scoresheet as he netted a first half penalty in the 6-0 win, with Yasser Alshahrani, Nasser Aldawsari, Malcolm and Salem Aldawsari also netting.
