Joelinton marked his senior debut for the managerless Seleção by opening the scoring with a near-post finish at a corner.

The hosts doubled their tally just three minutes later as Rodrygo had the beating of Ibrahim Koné with a well-taken drive.

But Guinea reduced the first-half deficit at the RCDE Stadium when Serhou Guirassy rose to convert Idrissa Sylla’s cross.

Within moments of the interval, however, Brazil’s two-goal cushion was restored by Éder Militão rising to meet Lucas Paquetá’s delivery.

Vinícius Jr rounded off a comprehensive outing for the five-time world champions with a penalty just two minutes from time.
