After the opening goalless draw with Costa Rica, this time the Brazilian team decided the match already in the first half, after which they led 3:0. And Lucas Paqutá still didn’t convert a penalty after half an hour of play. Moments later, he made up for the mistake with a pass for the first goal scored by Vinícius Júnior. Savinho made it 2-0 and Vinícius Júnior added another goal in the opening half.
“He played an almost perfect match. He created excellent opportunities, was dynamic, efficient and straightforward. He worked well with others,” Brazilian coach Dorival Júnior praised the Real striker.
Omar Alderete brought down after the break. Then Paquetá was given another opportunity to score from a handball penalty and this time he succeeded.
On Tuesday, Brazil will face Colombia to top the group and try to end their 25-match unbeaten streak. Last October, the Brazilians lost their World Cup qualifying match 1-2.
