Vinicius Junior with first goal in the Maracana
In front of 69,368 spectators, Neymar gave the Selecao the lead with a penalty kick (44th), before just two minutes later Vinicius Junior, who had given away 120 tickets to family and friends before the game, cheered the Maracana at half-time with his first international goal let. “There couldn’t have been a better place for it,” said the delighted 21-year-old, who stormed at the same venue for CR Flamengo before moving to Los Blancos.
