It might not have been swashbuckling football that many had expected from Brazil, but they finally have their opener against Serbia.
With the Balkan side dealing well with the Brazilian offence, they were struggling to find gaps in the defence. As has been the case with Real Madrid so often in recent times, it was Vinicius Junior who played a crucial role in the breakthrough goal.
After Neymar Junior’s heavy touch, Vinicius fired off a first-time shot that Vanja Milinkovic-Savic kept out, but Tottenham’s Richarlison was on hand to finish the rebound.

Neymar is trying by all means to cut off Vini Jr so that he won't take all the shine but unfortunately, he ended up taking the shine. Obviously, Ney is playing to showboot but Vini is playing for the team to win.
