MATCH REPORT
Fans barely had a chance to take their seats when Neymar stepped up and scored from the spot after Richarlison went down under a challenge from El Salvador's Roberto Dominguez in the second minute.
Neymar's opener took his international tally to 59 – three adrift of Ronaldo and 18 behind all-time leading scorer Pele.
It was routine for Brazil – who defeated the United States 2-0 last time out – as Richarlison got himself on the scoresheet with a beautiful first-time shot from the edge of the area.
Neymar should have made it 3-0 six minutes later but his shot rattled the crossbar, though, Brazil eventually got their third in the 30th minute via Coutinho, who left the keeper stranded having received a ball from the former just outside the penalty box.
El Salvador emerged from the interval with renewed enthusiasm and attacking intent, and it caused some nervy moments for Brazil, however, it left the CONCACAF nation exposed in defence.
Richarlison was at it again in the 50th minute, firing a low shot into the bottom corner of the net as he showcased his goalscoring instincts, before Marquinhos headed home Neymar's corner at the death.

Richarlison is massively underrated cos he's at a small club in the BPL but I've always said him and Felipe Anderson are really talented players that transferred this summer to lower table teams and ones to watch.

Guys I didn’t get to watch the game but did Richarlison do the chicken dance he said he would do if he scored?

Richarlison alfa male mentality, and I do mean it. He is talented, but talent alone is not enough to distinguish himself. He is super aggressive in every challenge, he always takes shots or goes big by taking risks. He has this hunger for stats, a hunger that top players have.
