While the greatest World Cup goals tend to be thunder-strikes or mazy solo efforts, everybody appreciates a slick passing move every now and again.
That's exactly what Brazil fans were treated to when Richarlison put their side 3-0 up against South Korea in the last-16 at Qatar 2022. It may have only been three passes, but the speed and execution were breath-taking as Brazil stormed to an unassailable lead against their Asian opponents.

Richarlison won the ball from the South Korea defender with some amazing skill roughly 20 yards from goal, before feeding Marquinhos on the edge of the area. The PSG defender then squared it inside to Thiago Silva before the Chelsea man slipped Richarlison through on goal.
Richarlison slotted the ball home calmly and, while his finish may not have been as astounding as the bicycle kick he smashed home against Ghana in his nation's first match in Qatar, the overall move was just as impressive.
Richarlison's finish came in after goals from Vinicius Jr, who dinked a fine effort in to open the scoring, and a penalty from Neymar, who returned to action following an ankle injury sustained in the group stage. It was Richarlison's third goal of the tournament.
