Botafogo striker Igor Jesus, 24, has been named player of the match in both of his games at the Club World Cup.
He is arguably the breakout player in the tournament so far and will get another chance to impress against Atletico Madrid on Monday evening.
He is nicknamed Little Frog, is a huge fan of the Anime series Dragon Ball Z and has been heavily linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.
But who is he?
Jesus started his career at Coritiba, a then Serie-B side based in Brazil's eighth largest city.
As an 18-year-old he scored three goals in 24 appearances to help Coritiba secure promotion.
But, after initially struggling at a higher level, he left midway through the following campaign to join Emirati side Shabab Al-Ahli.
He spent four seasons in the Middle East, scoring 46 goals in 92 games, before returning to Brazil by joining Botafogo in July 2024.
There he has excelled. He led the line as his side lifted the Serie A and Copa Libertadores titles last season.
Unsurprisingly, the scouting departments at numerous club around the world are on high alert.
Jesus even made his Brazil debut last October, scoring in a 2-1 World Cup qualifying win in difficult conditions in Chile.
South American football expert Tim Vickery called him , external "the modern-day Drogba" after his goal against Paris St-Germain, a side who had thrashed Inter Milan in the Champions League final just 20 days before.
