Son Heung-min's Teammate Richarlison Scores 2 Goals, Smooth Start to the World Cup
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jong-gil] Brazil, known as the 'eternal championship contender,' announced a smooth start to the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup by defeating Serbia 2-0.
On the 25th (Korean time), Brazil won 2-0 against Serbia in the Group G first match held at Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Richarlison, well known as a teammate of Son Heung-min (Tottenham), led the attack at the forefront.
Richarlison scored the first goal in the 17th minute of the second half and added another fantastic goal in the 28th minute of the second half. The second goal is regarded as the most magnificent goal among all goals scored so far. After lifting the ball into the air, he scored with a fantastic right-foot turning shot.
Brazil demonstrated superior skills, showing overwhelming dominance with 24-4 in shots and 10-0 in shots on target. Serbia, a dark horse from Europe, struggled against the world's strongest Brazil.
Brazil is a strong team always ranked as the top favorite to win the World Cup. However, Brazil's last victory was 20 years ago at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, which South Korea hosted. Brazil started lightly in the first match and began their march toward winning the championship after 20 years.
