Game, set and match of Brazil in Maracaná. It was not the most brilliant first part of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, but The substitutes gave the spark that the Brazilian team needed in the second and the five-time world champion is already warming up for the World Cup.
With an impressive atmosphere, an incredible mosaic in the stands and a stadium totally dedicated to its own, it was impossible for Brazil not to start winning. And he did it very early on. Barely a minute into the game and Vinicius had already turned on World Mode. Casemiro’s theft in the rival field is picked up by Madrid’s, which he faces and nails it into the square with an impressive shot from outside the area. But the samba was not going to last long in Brazil. Murillo, fortunately, tied after a foul that was poisoned when touching the barrier and he left Alisson’s efforts in vain.
From there, Panama grew and began to ‘see them coming’ Brazil. Harmless in attack and soft in defense. Alisson had to appear to avoid blushing at Maracaná. Very little from Vini and Raphinha, who were incapable of surpassing their respective brands and creating the slightest danger to Mosquera’s goal. Until Vinicius said that was enough. Another malicious shot that now found its best partner tonight. Casemiro put his head in to overtake the ‘Canarinha’ again with suspense. But, after checking the VAR, the goal went up and Ancelotti’s men went to half-time with a minimal advantage and very poor play.
In the second half, Carletto made a move. Rather, he moved the board, because made 10 changes at halftime. Another totally different game, with Endrick commanding the attack Brazilian. But it would be Rayan the one who would score the third with a great goal after taking advantage of Morales’ gift. And that was just the beginning of what was coming for Panama in the second half.
In a 10 minute span, Brazil would score three goals that left the game over and Panama massacred. Packagealso fortunately, would make the fourth and right after, Igor Thiago, from a penaltywould convert the ‘little hand’ against a dedicated Maracaná and a proud Neymar on the bench.
Brazil took its foot off the accelerator, although it was still able to reach the ‘set’. Danilowho had entered for Vinicius at half-time, made the sixth with an individual play magnificent. Shortly after, Panama responded proudly with an impressive goal that had little influence on the score. Harvey from outside the area and with impressive violence broke the net to score the second for the Central Americans.
And, since enough was enough, nothing else happened in the temple of Brazilian football. Brazil is already scary and Vinicius warms up his engines. The first exam, passed and with a high grade.
