Consolation prize for the Brazilian National Team. FIFA announced on Friday that forward Richarlison scored the best goal of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after receiving the majority of votes from fans.
The Tottenham forward was one of Brazil's best players and stood out with three goals in Qatar 2022. The best of all was against Serbia, who put up a strong defense until the second half, when the South American giant appeared.
Richarlison opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, but continued his hunger for goals by completing his brace with a monumental strike. In the 73rd minute, Vinicius Junior escaped down the right flank to set up the 'Canarinha's' number 9, who executed a great pirouette to make it 2-0 against Milinkovic, at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Thursday, November 24.
Richarlison surpasses Mbappé
Richarlison won the award by surpassing Kylian Mbappé's extraordinary goal against Poland, where he sent the ball into the top left corner that was impossible to save for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
In addition, he surpassed Argentine Enzo Fernández, Brazilian Neymar, Saudi Arabian Salem Al Dawsari, Dutch Cody Gakpo, Cameroonian Vincent Aboubakar, Mexican Luis Chávez, and South Korean Paik Seung Ho.
