Brazil had a friendly match with Mexico to prepare for Copa America 2024. This is a match in which Brazil coach Dorival Júnior did not field the strongest squad. Selecao’s brightest star, Vinicius, did not play from the start.

However, Brazil still had a good position and opened the scoring in the 5th minute thanks to Andreas Pereira. This is the goal where Andreas Pereira ran smartly to catch Savinho’s pass and then delicately handled it to score for the home team.

After taking the lead, Brazil did not control the match well, they let Mexico press until it was suffocating. However, the solidity of the defense helped Brazil preserve the net as the first half ended.

In the second half, Brazil still played relatively stubbornly, making it difficult for Mexico to score an equalizer. In the 54th minute, it was Gabriel Martinelli’s turn to shine to help the South American representative double the gap.

With nothing left to lose after the second goal, Mexico pushed their team up high in search of an equalizer. This team’s efforts helped them score 2 consecutive goals in the 73rd and 90+2 minutes to bring the match back to the starting line.

Thinking the match would end in a draw, in the 90+6 minute, Vinicius crossed the ball smoothly for prodigy Endrick to score a dangerous header to seal a 3-2 victory for Brazil over Mexico.
