ONE street vendor in the United States was left gobsmacked at Neymar's incredible gesture last night.

The Al-Hilal star stopped to surprise a man flogging shirts on the street corner before Brazil's Copa America opener in California.

Neymar was out in Los Angeles to support his Brazil teammates despite missing out on a place in the squad due to injury.

And a video circulating online shows the superstar stopping at a traffic light to purchase two Brazil shirts while heading to the SoFi Stadium.

Neymar leans out of the car window and beckons over the man selling the shirts by saying: "We want the Brazilian shirt, please!".

The vendor, seemingly oblivious to who he is talking to, then jogged over to the car and handed Neymar the shirt.


However, the vendor soon realised that it was Neymar who asked for the shirts and was starstruck at the interation.

He and his friends ran over to the car in excitement and gushed over the star - asking for signatures and selfies in a panicked rush.

The heartwarming interaction left fans online gushing about Neymar's impromptu act of kindness.

Neymar watched on from the stands as Brazil played out a goalless draw with Costa Rica.

It's a start that means the Selecao sit second in their group, behind leaders Colombia.

They continue their Copa America journey with a clash against Paraguary on Saturday.
