The big star Neymar, everyday in Paris Saint-Germain, shows super form in the national team.
With tonight's goals, he has now scored goals in four straight games and seven goals in the last five.
It also means that the 29-year-old has now scored 68 goals in his 107 international appearances.
How he stands compared to other Brazilian shooter kings is, as so often when it comes to Brazilian goal statistics, a little unclear.
Many claim that the former star striker Ronaldo scored 62 national team goals, but according to the Brazilian Football Association, he scored 67 and in such cases Neymar passed him last night.
Most people at least seem to agree that Neymar has nine goals up to the top scorer, Pelé.
- It is of course a great honor for me to be a part of Brazil's history, says a teary-eyed Neymar.
- To be honest, my dream was always to only play for Brazil.
I never thought I would reach these numbers.
Against Peru, Neymar scored the 2-0 goal from outside the penalty area and after the match he was hailed by Pelé.
"I, like all Brazilians, am always happy when I see him play football.
Today he took another step towards my record.
I hope he gets there, "he writes on Instagram.
