THE BIGGER PICTURE: Richarlison’s second goal will surely go down as one of the contenders for goal of the competition as he lashed home with an impressive strike.
WHAT NEXT FOR BRAZIL? Richarlison and his Selecao team-mates will hope to build on their strong start by getting the better of Switzerland in their second game of the competition.
