Brazilian Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid's forward, needed half the number of matches his compatriot and former star Ronaldinho played at World Cup finals to draw level with him in goals scored.
Vinicius scored against Morocco during the two sides' 2026 World Cup group stage match in New York, with the first half having ended 1-1.
The goal is Vinicius's second at World Cup finals level, after he scored against South Korea in Qatar 2022 during a 4-1 victory.
The Real Madrid star has scored his 2 goals in just 5 World Cup matches, including Sunday's match against Morocco, while former Barcelona and Brazil star Ronaldinho scored 2 goals — against China and England — at the 2002 World Cup, the last edition Brazil won.
Ronaldinho played 10 World Cup matches, the last of which came at the 2006 edition when Brazil reached the quarter-finals, according to the statistics website Transfermarkt.
