But Brazil's third goal in their 4-1 win over South Korea - a fine tiki-taka move that began and ended with Richarlison - had also made the shortlist of 10.

FIFA's World Cup Goal of the Tournament award was presented by Hyundai.

After learning that he had won the award, Richarlison wrote on Instagram: "Thank you for your affection and for helping to eternalize such a special moment."
