Magical Richarlison ensures Brazil beat Serbia in World Cup opener

Richarlison scored a bicycle kick goal against Serbia.

Brazil lived up to supporters’ expectations. Tite’s team were considered favourites for the World Cup title by many people and they proved it in their debut in Qatar. Against a Serbia side that defended well throughout the match, Richarlison’s goals were enough to give the ‘Selecao’ all three points.

Brazil means Jogo Bonito. Tite’s side proved to have one of the best attacks of the World Cup, as despite facing a Serbia side that defended incredibly well, the ‘Selecao’ managed to take all three points in a game that could have ended in a goal fest. Despite Casemiro hitting the post twice, Richarlison made the most of his two chances to sink Serbia’s hopes and score one of the best goals of the World Cup so far.
