Brazil led 3-0-0 in the South American World Cup qualifying campaign as Roberto Firmino scored the winning goal in the second half in the 1-0 victory over Venezuela on Friday evening in Sao Paulo.. The hosts entered the match with a weak team due to injuries, as Tite had to involve a team that did not include Neymar, Philip Coutinho, Fabinho and others, and their absence was noticeable with their lack of cohesion in the last third.. .

The first half saw Brazil dominate the ball, appearing to pose the greatest threat but lacking acrimony when the matter is most important. Whether it was too many touches at the decisive moment or failed to deliver the fatal pass, Brazil’s sterile dominance of the match hinted that nothing goes down the preferred path in the attack and one of the vulnerable gets out of an unexpected draw.. .

Brazil’s creativity didn’t really improve in the second half of the Copa América champion’s night off, but they got enough help from the top Venezuela side to keep their perfect record intact.. .

In the 67th minute, a cross came from the right wing towards the far post as Venezuelan winger Darwin Macchis installed a deep defense in his half of his field and his head badly, pushing it into the six-yard area where Firmino put it away without problems.

Backed by Vinotinto’s help, Brazil paid for a second, dominating the last 20 minutes of the match. Ultimately they couldn’t get it but they didn’t need it, as they got the three points in a match that was closer than expected..

Brazil remains at the top of the qualifiers table with nine points on its way to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, while maintaining its exemplary record as the only team to qualify for every World Cup.. .
