The web is abuzz with excitement over a spectacular goal. In the 42nd minute of the match between Venezuela and Brazil, Brazilian winger Raphinha scored with a pinpoint free-kick to make it 1-0 to the Seleção.
Brazil struck a blow in Maturin when they took a first-half lead over a tenacious Venezuela in the 11th round of South American qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The Canarinha, determined to keep up the momentum, were buoyed by Raphinha, who was in fine form in the first half, capitalising on a chance to fire home and give his side a precious lead before the break.
With the game well in hand, Brazil went on the offensive. Raphinha, who has already produced some fine performances since the start of the qualifiers, was quick to make his presence felt. Despite missing his first chance against Venezuelan goalkeeper Rafael Romo, the Barcelona winger did not give up. In the 43rd minute, Raphinha got his revenge with a perfectly placed free-kick near the edge of the area. His left-footed shot flew over the wall and into the net, leaving Romo helpless.
