Brazil had to wait until the 62nd minute to open their account of the goal, a series of attacks from the beginning to the end.
Vinicius Junior’s shot was blocked by goalkeeper Vanja Milincoci-Savic and Richarlison, who was close, converted the ball into a goal and gave Brazil the lead in the 62nd minute. Before that, in the 60th minute, the ball hit by Alex Sandro hit the goalpost and returned.
Richarlison’s second goal in the 73rd minute was one of the best goals of this World Cup and gave Brazil a 2-0 lead. He controlled the ball in the pass of Bunicius by hitting a ‘bicycle kick’ and turning it into a beautiful goal to secure Brazil’s victory. This is the 25-year-old’s 19th goal in an international competition.
