Liverpool star netted in Brazil win.
Liverpool ace Roberto Firmino was on target for Brazil as they beat Czech Republic 3-1.
The Czechs had taken a shock 1-0 lead and hoped to pull off an upset after their humiliation against England on Friday.
Firmino sparked Brazil’s comeback with an excellently taken goal just after half time.
He pounced on uncertainty in the Czech defence to capitalise on a loose ball and score.
This ended a run of three games without a goal for the forward.
Brazil’s win was capped off by Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus who scored twice.
Firmino has been inconsistent of late, managing to net in only one of Liverpool’s last eight matches.
The Reds need him at his best for their run of upcoming fixtures, starting with Tottenham this weekend.
Firmino came through the tie without an injury, as did goalkeeper Alisson, while teammate Fabinho only played the last few minutes as a substitute. All three should be good to go at Anfield.
