Neymar rescues young South African pitch-invader in heart-warming moment

What a nice guy.

THIS SUMMER’S WORLD Cup hosts faced the 2010 hosts in Soweto last night with Neymar scoring a hat-trick en route to a 5-0 win over South Africa.

Goals aside, the Barcelona star showed his warm side when a young supporter managed to find his way onto the pitch.

As stewards led the boy away, Neymar intervened and brought him to meet the whole Brazilian team.

Heart-warming.
