Their support - plus Brazil's phenomenal performance on the field - resulted in the South American team winning in a stunning 2-0 defeat over Mexico.
Brazil will move onto the next round leaving many Mexico fans in tears as their team was eliminated from the cup.
But although Alisson certainly put on an impressive performance on the pitch - not letting a single ball pass him during the entire game - it wasn't his skills that were attracting the most attention online.
Indeed, many spectators sharing their thoughts about the game on Twitter admitted to being rather distracted by Alisson's handsome features - while others noted that they had only stayed tuned into the game in the first place in order to catch a better glimpse of him.
Star status: Alisson has amassed an impressive legion of fans online - boasting more than 2.1 million Instagram followers
Doting dad: The soccer star is father to a baby girl, Heleninha, who regularly features on his social media accounts
Happy family: Many fans will no doubt be crushed to hear that Alisson has been happily married to Natália Loewe for just over three years
Support system: Natália and her daughter have been on hand to support Alisson at every one of his games, with both always donning some very festive Brazil-themed ensembles
But unfortunately for many new Brazil fans around the world, Alisson has been married for the past three years to Natália Loewe, who has quite the fan base of her own, boasting an impressive Instagram following of over 65,300 people.
Natália and Alisson welcomed their first child - a daughter called Heleninha - together last year, and both regularly post adorable images of themselves with the beautiful baby girl on social media.
Heleninha has also enjoyed plenty of time in the spotlight at the World Cup, with both of her parents sharing plenty of pictures of the little girl decked out in an array of Brazil-themed ensembles both on and off the pitch.
And despite where Brazil finishes in the World Cup, all eyes really are on Alisson for the next few months as he prepares to head to a new club team for the 2018/19 season.
Alisson has played for AS Roma - an Italian Serie A team - for the past two years, having completed his transfer to the side in July 2016. However, it looks as though he is now preparing to leave the club this summer and head off in search of a new home, with London-based Premier League team Chelsea, and Spanish side Real Madrid serving as the main contenders.
