Alisson’s unbeaten run for Brazil ends after three goals conceded | OneFootball

With a poor performance from the Brazilian defense, in addition to a questionable goal conceded by goalkeeper Hugo Souza, Brazil was defeated by Japan for the first time in history. The repercussions of the National Team's setback on social media were significant, and a record by Alisson – considered the starting goalkeeper for Ancelotti's team – was frequently mentioned by fans: the Liverpool player has never conceded three goals while wearing the Brazilian jersey.

Undeniable

In 76 matches, Alisson has never conceded the number of goals conceded by Hugo Souza, who played his first game for the National Team. The Liverpool goalkeeper's achievement is even greater when compared to the numbers of other players in his position in Brazil. Éderson, in 29 games, conceded three goals once, in a friendly against Senegal in 2023. Bento, on the other hand, has played five matches and on two occasions conceded three goals, against Spain and Argentina.

Before the friendly against Senegal in 2023, the last time the National Team conceded three goals in a match was in the fateful 2014 World Cup. On that occasion, Júlio César conceded seven goals from Germany and another three from the Netherlands.

Due to a thigh muscle injury suffered while playing for Liverpool, Alisson was not called up for the matches against South Korea and Japan. The goalkeeper is expected to return to action for Carlo Ancelotti's team only during the FIFA Date in March 2026, when Brazil will face two European teams.

In the National Team, Alisson has conceded 34 goals and kept a clean sheet in 47 matches. The goalkeeper has participated in two World Cups, in 2018 and 2022, and was the Copa América champion in 2019.
