Cunha instantly answers Brazil call with clutch performance 🏄‍♂️ | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti made a key change to Brazil's starting World Cup line up on Friday, and the man he entrusted has made a massive difference.

Manchester United star Matheus Cunha wears the no. 9 for his country and scored not once but twice, with both Ronaldo and Ronaldinho watching on. 

Cunha first was in the right place at the right time to bundle home the ball for the opener after Vinicius' shot was initially saved.

He then turned on the heat by running diagonally between two central defenders on the left, and struck the ball into the upright corner for 2-0 before half-time.

It's his first brace for Brazil, and an excellent demonstration of stepping up when asked for your country.

The last player to score a hat-trick for Brazil was Pelé all the way back in 1958. Whether he gets it or not, Ancelotti surely has to keep him in the starting XI, right?
