Richarlison Strikes In Brazil Victory

Richarlison scored his ninth senior international goal as Brazil beat Ecuador 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier on Friday night.

The Everton attacker's powerful 65th-minute drive set the five-time world champions on their way to victory in Porto Alegre.


Neymar's stoppage-time penalty then ensured Brazil kept up their 100-per-cent World Cup qualifying record.

The Selecao have won all five of their matches and sit top of the South American qualifying table, four points ahead of Argentina.

Richarlison's effort sustains his excellent record at senior international level, with his nine goals coming in just 24 appearances for Brazil.

Brazil return to qualifying action on Tuesday when they take on Paraguay [kick-off 1.30am, Wednesday BST] before commencing their Copa America campaign on Sunday 13 June against Venezuela.
