Neymar was given a penalty against Al Shabab on Friday, but he was unable to score for Al Hilal.
Neymar, who left Paris Saint-Germain to join the Saudi Pro League team for £77 million, has had a difficult start to his new career.
He hasn’t scored since making his significant financial transfer, and he had to deny claims that he and manager Jorge Jesus got into a confrontation in the locker room.
The Brazilian’s awful performance against Al Shabab continued as he mispronounced his words.
The Brazilian took the penalty just before halftime, replacing the club legend Salem Al-Dawsari, who had previously received one this season.
However, Neymar struck the post with his 12-yard attempt, and Bono recovered the loose ball.
In the second half, though, the 31-year-old made up for it by awarding a welcome corner kick, which Kalidou Koulibaly collected and headed in to open the score.
Next, he created another goal by setting up Aleksandar Mitrovic, a former Fulham player, who eventually scored from close range.
After the victory, Al Hilal moves up to the top of the league with 20 points, surpassing Al Ittihad.
