VIDEO: Child runs onto pitch, gets to take picture with Neymar

Pitch invaders are usually met by a heavy-handed response from security as soon as they step onto the field. But when the pitch invader is a child who looks no older than 10, different tactics are obviously needed.

Following Brazil's 5-0 goal-fest over South Africa on Wednesday, a young kid somehow managed to make his way towards Brazil's team, and well, things couldn't have worked out better for him.

Instead of being tackled by security personnel, the child was picked up by Neymar, who then posed for a picture with the youngster before allowing him to celebrate with his teammates.

Neymar even posted the pictures that were taken to his Instagram account with the caption, "Nothing better than getting a child to smile."

This kid just lived out the dream of millions.
