#2 Philippe Coutinho / Brazil versus Switzerland
Brazil's run in Russian soil started with a 1-1 rare draw against Switzerland at Rostov-on-Don. The Brazilian side, heavily favoured to win the title and reach its sixth World Cup trophy, the most ever, did not have a great start of the tournament, but Coutinho scored a brilliant goal, as usual.
Brazil had an attack prone to come from the left side of the pitch, with Marcelo and Neymar leading the offensive actions for the Tite-led squad. Marcelo was attacking and tried to get a left-foot cross into the box, but the defence was able to reject it.
The loose ball found Coutinho, who never doubted what he could do and showed the world the kind of goals he's always demonstrated since his Internazionale days, and mostly showed at Liverpool. The best Brazilian in the tournament kicked the ball with perfection and put it away from goalkeeper Yann Sommer and into the net after hitting the post to give Brazil an early 1-0 lead.
