Brazil ended Senegal's 10-match unbeaten run with a 2-0 win at London's Emirates Stadium. This victory marks Brazil's second win in five games against African teams. The match was intense, with Brazil creating several scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes.
Goals from Estevao and Casemiro secured the win for Brazil. Estevao scored in the 28th minute, curling the ball into the far post with his left foot. Casemiro doubled the lead seven minutes later, controlling Rodrygo's free kick before scoring with an unorthodox finish.
Brazil's early chances were snatched away, but Matheus Cunha came closest to breaking the deadlock, his header rattling the crossbar inside the six-yard box. However, it was Estevao who opened the scoring for Carlo Ancelotti's side after 28 minutes, curling in a brilliant shot into the far bottom-left corner, his fourth international goal in his last five caps.
Brazil continued to dominate, and they added a second goal 10 minutes before the break, thanks to Casemiro's excellent finish. He controlled Rodrygo's free-kick inside the penalty area and curled the ball into the corner, his third goal in four games for club and country.
Brazil had a close call after the restart when Ederson's mistake handed Senegal a golden opportunity. Luckily, Iliman Ndiaye's shot hit the post, and Brazil dodged a bullet. As the game wore on, it seemed like the 2-0 scoreline would hold, with neither team creating many clear-cut chances.
Despite Senegal's improved performance in the second half, they couldn't find a way past Ederson, and Brazil comfortably saw out the win. The victory marked Brazil's first win against African opposition in five games, and it's a confidence boost ahead of their World Cup preparations.
As expected, the game slowed down in the final 10 minutes, with neither team creating much of a goalscoring opportunity. The match ended on a dull note, but Brazil's 2-0 win was a convincing result, marking a good response to their previous losses.
Senegal, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive friendly defeat. Despite their 10-match unbeaten run coming to an end, they will be disappointed with their performance, particularly given their struggles to trouble the Brazil defense.
