Neymar broke down in tears after helping fire Brazil to a crucial World Cup victory over Costa Rica on Friday.
The Selecao were drawing 0-0 heading into second-half injury-time and knew a draw would leave them facing a battle to scramble through the groups.
But Philippe Coutinho prodded in from six yards after Gabriel Jesus had directed a high ball into his path, before Neymar struck late to seal the points for the five-time World Cup winners.
The PSG star was left infuriated by rough tackling throughout the the first half, and was denied a penalty after the break as referee Bjorn Kuipers initially awarded a spot-kick before consulting VAR and going against his original decision.
Neymar was fouled 10 times during the 1-1 draw against Switzerland, more than any other player since England's Alan Shearer was roughed up by Tunisia back in 1998.
Costa Rica followed Switzerland's blueprint, but Neymar’s frustration turned to relief at full-time as he collapsed to his knees and sobbed into his hands.
The result leaves Brazil top of Group E with Serbia due to face Switzerland in Friday’s late game.
