He scored twice to help the Sele\u00e7\u00e3o recover from their underwhelming 0-0 draw against Costa Rica in their opening game. In that match, Vin\u00edcius struggled, failing to register a shot on goal and being substituted midway through the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Against Paraguay, Vin\u00edcius was in top form from the start. He opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a low finish following an assist from Lucas Paquet\u00e1. After S\u00e1vio doubled the lead, Vin\u00edcius added a third goal for Brazil just before halftime by closing down Paraguay defender Omar Alderete and deflecting his clearance into the net.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Vinicius Jr. hit the &#8216;calma&#8217; \ud83e\udd76 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EGQ3DuD2bN\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/EGQ3DuD2bN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 B\/R Football (@brfootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brfootball\/status\/1806871917036466237?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 29, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Vin\u00edcius had the opportunity to complete a hat-trick but instead allowed Paquet\u00e1, who had missed a penalty earlier in the match, to take a second-half spot kick. Paquet\u00e1 converted the penalty, sealing the victory for Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>These were Vin\u00edcius&#8217; first non-penalty goals for Brazil since he scored against South Korea in the 2022 World Cup, and his first multi-goal game in his 32nd appearance for the national team.<\/p>\n<p>The win was a strong response from Brazil after their disappointing start to the tournament. With four points, Brazil is now just two points behind group leader Colombia, which defeated Costa Rica 3-0 earlier on Friday. A win or draw against Colombia on Tuesday will secure one of the group&#8217;s two spots in the knockout stage for Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_rFhvgcDmw?si=BDCzl0oCpkWS4lZL\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior had an outstanding performance in Brazil&#8217;s 4-1 victory over Paraguay at the Copa Am\u00e9rica in Las Vegas.
