Bassco Soyer: The Youth Player Who Impressed Neymar as a Ball Boy

Bassco Soyer, a youth member of the Peruvian team, played the role of ball boy at the National Stadium in the ‘canarinha’ victory against the national team.

Last Tuesday, Peru could not beat Brazil at the National Stadium in Lima on date 2 of the 2026 South American Qualifiers. The ‘canarinha’ won with an agonizing goal from Marquinhos, a result that left the ‘bicolor’ hurt. At the end of the match, many clips of the match went viral, including one from Bassco Soyer, a youth player from Alianza Lima.

As is known, the players from the minor divisions of the ‘intimate’ team were on the field supporting as ball boys. And one of those present was the player from the Under 17 national team, who starred in a curious scene in front of none other than Neymar.

What did? Bassco Soyer hid the ball to delay Brazil’s serve, but seconds later, he handed the ball to ‘Ney’. The latter, far from being bothered, greeted him. The Peruvian only managed to smile with some nervousness. Without a doubt, something you will never forget.

In the end, Neymar ended up asking for time to ensure the result against Peru as a visitor. And he did it from the substitutes’ side, minutes after leaving the field of play. And it was no wonder, since the goal came 90 minutes into the South American Qualifiers match.

Bassco Soyer is one of the great promises that Alianza Lima has in its quarry. Her beginnings were in Canteras Perú and then in Esther Grande de Bentín before making the leap to the ‘blue and white’ team.

However, his debut in the first team happened at a critical moment for the ‘intimates’, after the irregular start in the Clausura Tournament and the dismissal of Guillermo Salas. It was on date 6 of the second competition of the year, in a 1-1 draw as a visitor against the César Vallejo University.

Coach Nixon Perea authorized his entry in the 86th minute for Jesús Castillo along with another colt like Enzo Borletti. And in the time he had to play, the small forward showed his technical quality and good handling of the ball, giving signs of being a very useful footballer for the ‘alliancistas’ for the future.

Bassco Soyer was called up to the Peruvian under 17 team to compete in the South American category that was held in Ecuador between March and April of this year. The 16-year-old forward was a starter in the team led by Pablo Zegarra and his presence caused great expectations, due to his performance in the youth championships with Alianza Lima.

The performance of the ‘bicolor’ in the championship was disappointing, as they finished last in Group B with just one point, the result of a 0-0 draw against Venezuela. However, what Soyer showed left hope due to a couple of good plays and also because he scored the only Peruvian goal of the competition, this was in the 2-1 defeat against Bolivia.

Having said so much, it was widely applauded, as it was a great counterattack that the attacker himself started with a ‘little hat’ in the center of the field, continued with a one-two with Víctor Guzmán and ended with a subtle first-time finish.
