🔥 Vini Jr. hits insane World Cup milestone with Brazil

Vinícius José Paixão de Oliveira Júnior is calling this FIFA World Cup “his.”

He opened the scoring for Brazil against Scotland this Wednesday (24).

And he reached one of THOSE milestones.

He became just the fifth Brazil player to score at least one goal in all three group-stage matches of a World Cup. 


Thanks, McKenna!

Vini’s third goal at this World Cup came with a little help from McKenna.

He made a mistake while playing out from the back under pressure from the alert Rayan, who intercepted it.

Then it was up to Vini Jr. to make the most of it in the seventh minute. 

Only Jairzinho (1970), Romário (1994), and Rivaldo and Ronaldo (both in 2002) had achieved that before.

Brazil have scored five goals at the World Cup. ALL of them with direct involvement from the No. 7.
