‘The New R9’ – Richarlison showered with praise after outrageous wonder goal
Tournament favourites Brazil edge past Serbia in a thrilling Group H encounter at the Lusail Stadium.
Richarlison’s second half brace sealed all three match points for the five-time World Cup champions in their opening game in Qatar.
The Tottenham Hotspurs’ striker sent the football world into a frenzy with a sublime scissors kick goal on the 73rd minute mark after receiving a well-taken ‘trivela’ pass from Real Madrid’s winger, Vinicius Junior.
The in-form striker became the first player since Neymar in 2014 to score a brace in a world cup match for the Seleção Canarinho.

Don’t wanna hear Richarlison’s goal described as an overhead. That was a scissors kick

Richarlison will be hoping to continue his red-hot form on Monday when Brazil takes on ‘The Red Crosses’ of Switzerland at the Stadium 974 as the second round of group stage matches continues.
