Following a brilliant outside foot cross from the left-hand side from team-mate Vinicius Jr, Richarlison, positioned in the centre of the goal, approximately 12 yards out, used his first touch to flick the ball up in the air.
Then, as the ball dropped, the former Everton man spun and executed a perfect volley while his body was airborne.
The resulting strike evaded Serbian defender Milos Veljkovic's attempts to block the ball and sailed beyond the outstretched right arm of his keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
Richarlison had earlier opened the scoring for Brazil and added his third of the tournament with another impressive strike against South Korea in the second round 4-1 win.
Unfortunately, Brazil's World Cup journey came to an end in the quarter-finals following a penalty shootout defeat to Croatia.
Serbia were eliminated bottom of Group G after failing to win any of their three matches.
