By IANS News March 21, 2025 • 11:10 AM View: 763

FIFA WC Qualifiers: Vinicius Junior's last-gasp goal helped Brazil snatch a victory over Colombia and jumped to second place in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with 21 points.

Raphinha scored the first goal of the game from a penalty kick. The Colombians tied the match in the first half. But Vinícius Junior scored the winning goal in the second half's injury time, in an individual move.

“We all truly needed this victory. Everyone needed it: us players, the staff and the supporters. It gives us confidence. I think it’s the turning point that the team needed," said Raphinha.
