Brazil striker Richarlison scored a double in the match against Serbia (2:0) at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Richarlison scored both goals in Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Serbia in the first round of the World Cup last Thursday (24th). With the first three points secured, Amarelinha returns to the field on Monday (28), at 1 pm, against Switzerland.
Speaking of the protagonist of the Brazilian victory, Richarlison was the ‘artist’ of the most beautiful goal in the first round of the World Cup. With a touch and a bicycle launch, the number 9 scored his second goal after dominating the ball and giving the opposing goalkeeper no chance.
In total, there were 41 goals scored in the opening round of the World Cup. Despite four games tied without goals, the elastic defeats of Spain (7-0 over Costa Rica), England (6-1 over Iran) and France (4-1 over Australia), contributed to the high number of goals and compensated for games without so many emotions. And it’s clear that some goals, like Richarlison, drew attention in the early days. Check out!
