The 30-year-old dominated in midfield and provided Raphinha with a sublime assist.
He highlighted Casemiro’s great vision and ability to play special passes like this from far away.

This summer, the former Real Madrid player was hired to solve United’s midfield problems.
Erik ten Hag was determined to bring in an experienced holding midfielder to help balance the team’s defence.
After hounding Frenkie de Jong all summer, United have finally decided to spend money on the five-time Champions League winner.
Brilliant performances from Scott Mctominay have kept Casemiro on the bench, but many hope he will regain his place soon.
It will be interesting to see if Ten Hag opts to start the 30-year-old against Manchester City in Sunday’s derby.
His experience in important games would undoubtedly help to deal with Pep Guardiola’s team.
The Brazilian is said to be a silent leader in the dressing room, and the players respect his achievement with Madrid.
Legend Roberto Carlos also claimed that he would have loved to play with Casemiro.
“I would have loved to play alongside Casemiro and Fred, [why?] It’s because I was very offensive, and they are the type of players who will cover you. They will cover the whole field, I would have loved it”.
