Vinícius Júnior ran to the corner and performed some samba moves by the flag before his teammates rushed in to embrace him.The young Brazilian forward had just scored another decisive goal for Real Madrid. His beautiful late strike sealed a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Sevilla on Sunday in a match between two of the best teams in Spain at the moment.

Vinícius Júnior neatly controlled the ball with his chest by the sideline before making a run past a couple of defenders. He fired a well-placed shot into the top corner from outside the area for an 87th-minute winner which delighted Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

“That’s what the great players do, they capitalize on the chances they get and make a difference,” Madrid midfielder Casemiro said.

It was the second goal in the last three matches for Vinícius Júnior, and the 11th in total in what has been his best season by far since joining Madrid. He has already scored more goals now than in his previous three seasons in total.

“He is extraordinary. He has something special on his feet,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “This is another step for him to become one of the best players in the world.”
