Coutinho elated after scoring his first goal of the tournament

Coutinho has been Brazil's best player so far in the tournament and scored an absolute peach of a goal against Switzerland. In the game against Costa Rica, when Brazil was struggling to find the back of the net, Coutinho rescued them with his opportunist strike late in the second half.

He provided a terrific through ball from which Paulinho scored a fantastic goal against Serbia. Coutinho has scored two goals so far. Brazil will depend heavily on him in the knockout stages of the competition to provide the creativity from midfield.
