Brazil entered their match against Venezuela as heavy favorites, but the game ended in a frustrating 1-1 draw, leaving many fans deeply disappointed. Despite fielding a nearly full-strength squad, Brazil struggled to assert dominance on the pitch. The standout performer, however, was Raphinha, who is currently in the form of his life.
Wearing the iconic No. 10 shirt, which he inherited from the injured Neymar, Raphinha delivered a performance worthy of the legendary number. The Barcelona winger scored a magnificent goal from a free kick, lifting the spirits of Brazilian fans and momentarily putting his team ahead.
The goal came just before halftime, as Raphinha bent the ball beautifully past the Venezuelan goalkeeper, drawing applause from the yellow-and-blue faithful. The strike was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening, but it wasn’t just the goal that caught attention—it was the celebration as well.
After scoring, Raphinha celebrated in Neymar’s signature style, paying tribute to his injured teammate. Far from mocking the Brazilian star, Raphinha’s gesture was a heartfelt dedication to Neymar, showcasing his admiration and respect for the PSG forward.
While Brazil failed to secure all three points, Raphinha’s brilliance was a silver lining in an otherwise underwhelming night for the Seleção.
