Famous FIFA World Cup Goals: Richarlisonās Spinning Scissor Volley
Richarlison's bicycle kickBrazilian striker Richarlison's scissor volley against Serbia was voted the 2022 FIFA World Cup's Goal of the Tournament.
When Brazil plays its particular brand of football (soccer), jogo bonito (ābeautiful gameā), the world stops. And so it was when the team won its first group-stage match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, beating Serbia 2ā0. Both goals were scored by striker Richarlison, but it was his second, a scissor volley in the 73rd minute, that was voted the Goal of the Tournament. After having put Brazil ahead minutes earlier, Richarlison popped a cross from VinĆcius JĆŗnior into the air, spun, and struck a spectacular acrobatic volley past Serbiaās helpless goalkeeper. Brazil eventually lost to Croatia on penalties in the quarterfinals. (Watch Richarlisonās Goal of the Tournament here.)
