And the wonderkid proved to be decisive for his team to win all three points, taking the shot the resulted in a rebound slotted home by Richarlison for the opening goal and then making a beautiful pass for the same Richarlison to seal the 2-0 win in the 73rd minute. With Neymar (ankle) probably missing Monday's clash against Switzerland, Vinicius could have an even bigger role on offense.

Takes two shots in loss Vinicius put two shots off target and created two chances during Monday's 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Vinicius still wasn't far from scoring but he did concede his second yellow card. An exceptional first half of the season in which he's scored 10 times and logged four assists across all competitions will close Thursday against Cadiz before Vinicius joins Brazil's World Cup squad in Qatar.

Scores lone goal in draw Vinicius scored one goal on two shots (one on target) and one chance created during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Girona.

Impact Vinicius made a nice run toward goal in the 70th minute and smoothly completed the scoring portion of a Federico Valverde assist. It was Madrid's first and only goal of the contest, and it helped the squad earn one point from the rather sluggish matchup. Overall, it wasn't the best of matches for fantasy performances, but Vinicius rewarded managers with his late efforts. The winger impressively now has six goals in 12 league matches and another three in UCL play.

Impact With two assists and one goal in his last two starts, Vinicius is finishing October in strong form after failing to score or assist in four straight games until Saturday against Sevilla.

Impact Vinicius grabbed his first La Liga assists since August on Saturday, picking out a clever pass for Luka Modric to open the scoring and then finding Lucas Vazquez to finish off a clinical counter attack. But Vinicius hasn't found the net himself in any of his last five games in all competitions since the UCL win over Shakhtar Donetsk back on Oct. 5, and he will want to end that drought Tuesday against RB Leipzig.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots off bench Vinicius subbed into Tuesday's Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the 57th minute and he took two shots in the 1-1 draw.

Impact Vinicius started Tuesday's game on the bench for the first time this season as Rodrygo, Eden Hazard and Federico Valverde lined up in attacking midfield behind Karim Benzema. Vinicius should return to the XI on the left wing for Sunday's El Classico.

Impact Vinicius saved the hosts from a troubling result after the international break and ahead of a busy part of the schedule. Now with goals in six of his nine games to open the season, Vinicius is starting to garner more looks than Karim Benzema after the Frenchman missed a penalty in Sunday's game.

Impact Vinicius was one of Madrid's most active and dynamic plays here and had another decisive contribution, assisting Federico Valverde for the goal that opened the scoring in the 80th minute.
