Summary of today's events in sports, 24.11 (Sport1)
From the first moment to the last, tonight (Thursday) Brazil put pressure on Serbia's goal.
The Salceau often missed - but when it seemed that the leading favorite to win would stumble in its opening game, Richarlison came and saved the day.
It started with an easy rebound goal (62), and continued with a spectacular score (73) that set 0:2, and secured three important points and a big step towards the eighth finals.
But not everything is rosy in the Brazilian camp.
In the 79th minute, Neymar was replaced, and according to reports in Brazil, suffers from an ankle injury.
The Paris Saint-Germain star sat on the bench, frustrated, tearful and groaning in pain, with an ice pack, and the severity of his injury is still unclear.
This is what Neymar's ankle looks like after the game
the numbers
* Brazil are unbeaten in their opening 20 World Cup matches (16 wins, 4 draws).
The only losses were in the first championships in 1930 and 1934.
* Brazil equaled Germany's record (1990-2010), with 16 consecutive games without a loss in the group stage of the World Cup.
* Richarlison is the sixth player to score a brace so far at the World Cup, and the race for the Golden Boot has never looked hotter.
* The Tottenham striker continues to star in the national team, and is the top scorer of the Salsa in 2022.
In seven games he scored nine goals, and set up another.
* Richarlison scored 19 goals in Brazil, the most of any national team player since his debut in September 2018.
* How hard is it to score two goals in the World Cup?
Let's remember that this is the amount of goals of the great Ronaldinho in the World Cup.
* Richarlison became the eighth Brazilian to score a brace in his first match at the World Cup.
The last to do so was Neymar in 2014.
* In the first 45 minutes, Neymar became the player who was fouled the most in the current World Cup (5).
In the second half he doubled it.
* 50% of the halves in the World Cup so far have ended without goals - eight out of 16 games.
