Richarlison was the star of the game having scored both goals in Brazil’s opening encounter. It was the acrobatic kick in the 73rd minute that led football fans to hold their breath for a moment.

After coming from a calf injury and speculations around selection in the national side, Richarlison had a dream start to the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Stunning moment of improvised clinicality by Richarlison. 25-Year-Old grew up around poverty and violence in a Brazilian steel town. Like millions he’d have dreamed of scoring World Cup goals like this as a kid. Unlike rest of us, he just made it real 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/2KSpCwy2ac

In the game, though the scorecard was clean after the first half, Brazil was the one in the driver’s seat and Richarlison showed why. In the 62nd minute, Vinicius Jr took a shot which was saved and rebounded just for Richarlison to score. And then the duo worked it through for the amazing goal in the 73rd minute. Talking about the goal, Richarlison said that it was a dream come true moment for him. He also told that he scored in a similar fashion in the pre-tournament practice in Italy.
