FIFA 2018- First Goal Scored By Philippe Coutinho in Russia

Brazil’s opening contest against Switzerland might have not gone totally their way, but the South American nation can take pride in their first goal in Russia which was scored by Philippe Coutinho. It was a tremendous curling effort, that reminded of the sort of goals scored by Brazil legend Roberto Carlos. In the 20th minute of the clock, Marcelo tried to cross a ball to Neymar inside the box which was sent back by Swiss defender. Unfortunately, the ball landed straight in Coutinho’s feet just outside the box, who took advantage of the gap and curled a right-footed strike into the top right corner of the net. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer had no choice but to watch the ball go into the back of the nets as Brazil took 1-0 lead.
