Brazil‘s Richarlison scored an incredible goal in his FIFA World Cup debut vs. Serbia on Thursday. The forward took one touch to control the cross from Vínicius Júnior then unleashed a perfectly executed bicycle kick. Just take a look.
Though we’re only one-third of the way through the group stage, the strike is sure to stand out as one of the goals of the tournament. Fans were quick to celebrate Richarlison’s incredible athletic display.
He was seen practicing a similar move in practice as the international break began.
The Tottenham forward scored his first World Cup goal just a few minutes earlier, thanks to a quick reaction on a rebound attempt.
There’s something about major tournament debuts for Richarlison. He also scored a second-half brace in his first Champions League match in September. That effort helped Spurs defeat Marseille on its way to topping the group. Brazil supports are surely hoping for the same in this tournament.
