FIFA U17 World Cup: Brazil 2-0 Mali, 5 talking points

#2 Paulinho’s gesture towards Mali keeper Youssouf Koita

Paulinho has left his mark in this World Cup and will be remembered for long

After Mali conceded a calamitous first goal from an Alan shot, the whole Brazilian team erupted in joy and were celebrating near the corner flag except one the Brazilian no. 7 Paulinho, the Vasco da Gama forward walked up the Mali 'keeper and gave him a helping hand and started consolidating him for his blunder and made sure the keeper didn't completely break down for his mistake.

A gesture like this at this level deserves praise and it is note worthy that players showing such gestures is something that wins hearts all day long any where in the world. Youngsters watching the game should be encouraged to show gestures like this one more and more.
