Brazil attacker Richarlison scored in his team’s 3-1 Copa America 2019 finals win over Peru and dedicated it to his great-grandmother – whose name he hilariously forgot!

Everton striker Richarlison, who came on for Roberto Firmino in the 75th minute, stepped up to slot home a penalty in the 90th minute of regulation time to seal Brazil’s victory over Peru in the Copa America 2019 finals.

Speaking to a reporter after the match, the player who had just made a comeback from mumps, dedicated his goal to his great-grandmother – who’s name he ended up forgetting!

Reporter: “What is she called?”

Richarlison: “I can’t remember! I’ve forgotten! I don’t know, it’s just so much emotion. I can’t recall it. It’s time to celebrate now, but I’ll tell you if I remember!”
