Brazil beat South Africa 5-0 in a friendly match today in Soweto. As lopsided as the game was for Brazil, the highlight for both teams and the fans, came when a young South African boy ran onto the pitch. The boy was about to be taken off the field by officials until Brazil’s super-star, Neymar, took him away and hoisted him in the air with his teammates. The two then took this adorable picture together.
The World Cup cannot come soon enough.
