Oscar dedicates Brazil goal to family

Brazil midfielder Oscar has dedicated his goal in the opening game of the 2014 World Cup to his wife and daughter.

The 22-year-old sealed the victory for the hosts late on in last night's 3-1 victory over Croatia, toe-poking the ball past Stipe Pletikosa from the edge of the box.

"Thank you God for everything and the Brazilian fans for all the support. This goal was for my wife and my daughter," the Chelsea star posted on Instagram following the game.

Brazil face Mexico on Tuesday night in their second match of the competition.
