Brazil coach Fernando Diniz has condemned the ‘disrespectful’ incident in which Neymar was hit in the head by a bag of popcorn thrown from the stands after his team’s 1-1 home draw with Venezuela .<\/p>\n

The popcorn was thrown just before Neymar walked down the tunnel at the Arena Pantanal stadium at the end of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Neymar, who had played the entire match, had to be restrained by Diniz as he pointed and shouted at fans in the stands<\/a> where the object was thrown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI totally disapprove,\u201d Diniz said of the incident during his post-match interview. “Cursing and booing is fine. Throwing a bag of popcorn doesn’t do anything for anyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s disrespectful to those who came to play and tried to do their best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diniz was also frustrated that Brazil did not win<\/a> the match, with the result seeing Argentina overtake them in the standings.<\/p>\n

Argentina beat Paraguay 1-0 on Thursday to remain perfect in qualifying and move two points ahead of Brazil after three matches.<\/p>\n

“We could have had a second [goal], a third, a fourth,” Diniz added. “We finished the games poorly. We shouldn’t have conceded Venezuela’s goal either.<\/p>\n

“We should have adjusted our marking and not given the opponent the chance to finish. But the team didn’t have a bad game. The players feel the heat and the difficulty of the pitch.”<\/p>\n

Brazil return to action when they face Uruguay in another qualifying clash in Montevideo on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
