The Tottenham forward scored his first World Cup goal just a few minutes earlier, thanks to a quick reaction on a rebound attempt.

There’s something about major tournament debuts for Richarlison. He also scored a second-half brace in his first Champions League match in September. That effort helped Spurs defeat Marseille on its way to topping the group. Brazil supports are surely hoping for the same in this tournament.
