Barcelona star Raphinha continues inspirational form to lead Brazil to crucial win

Barcelona forward Raphinha was in inspirational form yet again on Thursday as Brazil beat Colombia in World Cup qualifying.

The Barca star opened the scoring after just six minutes from the penalty spot after Vinicius was fouled by Daniel Munoz.

However, Colombia equalised just before the break when James Rodríguez played in Luis Díaz to fire home.

There was then a nasty incident in the second half when Davinson Sanchez collided with Alisson which saw both players taken off after a lengthy stoppage.
