People have been flooding to social media in stitches over one Brazilian fan's reaction to Richarlison's goal, but the fan's wife isn't happy.
On Thursday, 24 November, Brazil played Serbia at Lusail Stadium in its first match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Richarlison performed an impressive scissor-style bicycle kick goal which was quickly branded the 'goal of the tournament' which saw Brazil win against Serbia with a score of 2 - 0.

Pictures and videos of a fan named Clovis Carvalho - who attended the game in person - quickly went viral on social media because of Carvalho's expression when Richarlison scored.
However, Carvalho's wife has since spoken out disapprovingly about how he reacted to the goal.
The images of Carvalho - a 34-year-old veterinarian - which are circulating on social media show the fan with his top off, screaming out in absolute joy - so much so, he almost looks slightly in pain.

Carvalho justified to Brazilian news outlet G1: "A goal like that was worth of losing one's mind."
Indeed, football fans who caught the moment flooded to social media finding Carvalho's reaction hilarious.
One said: "This dude won the world cup."
"He's representing all of us," another added.
Unfortunately, the veterinarian's wife, 28-year-old Fernanda Tonin, didn't seem best pleased and in the viral video, can be seen gesturing for her husband to put his T-Shirt back on.

Tonin told G1: "When I saw that he had taken his shirt off to celebrate the goal, I immediately asked him to put it back on.
"I don't think even he realized what he had just done."
She explained she worried her husband's gesture could be taken as being inappropriate and offensive considering the match was being held in Qatar.

"Taking your shirt off in the stadium could offend Arab women and men in the stadium," Tonin reflected.
The pair have lived in the Middle Eastern country for the past four years and Tonin noted they have 'always been highly respected' by everyone, so 'always do [their] best to respect their culture as well'.
Carvalho has since reflected on his celebration as not having been 'a nice gesture,' adding he believes he's 'really sinned in having done that' despite people online and other fans at the stadium having taking it in their 'stride'.
