Estevao Willian scores once more, folks. As if anybody would have guess in opposition to that, proper?
The rising star scored for the Brazil nationwide aspect to assist them beat Senegal 2-0 in a pleasant on Saturday, and it was a really typical Estevao end in off the best.
He arrived into the field because the ball dropped to him to place in a beautiful curling effort into the highest nook.
Joao Pedro additionally got here off the bench and performed on this sport, and Nicolas Jackson clearly performed for Senegal too, for the Chelsea involvement.
Soccer London watched on and rated the gamers:

I feel you want each these elements in trendy soccer. I like how onerous Estevao works simply as a lot as how skilful he’s. He’s bodily and isn’t afraid to place himself about – that’s superb for an 18-year-old and one of many causes I’ve been so impressed with him.
