A lot of criticism was directed towards Vinicius post the Costa Rica game as the Real Madrid forward failed to make an impact in the game. The 23-year old proved many haters wrong as he played \u2018An almost perfect match.\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cToday he played a very important role. He played an almost perfect match, he created very good situations and opportunities. He was dynamic, very effective and straightforward and direct. He played well with other players and teamed up nicely, he has great capacity,\u201d said Head Coach Dorival to reporters post-game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vinicius opened the scoring in the 35th minute before doubling his tally and scoring the third goal of the game five minutes into the stoppage time in the first half. He could have also scored his third but gave Lucas Paqueta the chance to open his scoring tally of the tournament with a penalty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Brazilian forward frustratedly had spoken to reporters following the game against Costa Rica where he had spoken on the reason behind his struggles with the national team and how he knew where he needed to improve and he certainly backed up his comments with his brilliant outing vs Paraguay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
