Firmino’s goal confirmed Brazil’s 2-0 win and a Last 16 tie with Belgium, who dramatically beat Japan 3-2 in one of the World Cup’s best games so far.

Maybe the pressure of World Cup football is so great, Bobby didn’t want to take a chance, or maybe it was actually a harder finish than it looked, with a Mexican defender breathing down his neck.

Bobby has played just 61 minutes in Russia so far, but has looked exceptional when called upon by the manager.

We find it bizarre considering how much more impressive he’s been than Gabriel Jesus this tournament, but perhaps against Belgium, Tite will finally make the right call.
