The new Brazilian Serie A season started last month, but Coutinho and Vasco were in Copa Sudamericana action this week.

The goal was the midfielder’s fifth in 12 appearances in all competitions so far this season, with him enjoying a productive start to the campaign.

Coutinho was a standout player at Liverpool before completing a £142 million move to Barcelona in 2018.
