THE MATCH

Just four minutes in, Brazil opened the scoring. After a good attacking move, Eduardo Conceição found the back of the net.

The goal put Bolivia on alert, and they tried a few attacks, but ran into goalkeeper Vitor, who was always attentive.

Calmly, Brazil imposed its rhythm and managed to extend the lead in the 27th minute through Kauê Furquim, who combined well with his teammates before celebrating his goal.

And it was all Brazil in the match. In the 31st minute, Eduardo Pape met a good cross from the left and headed it firmly into the back of the net.

There was still time for another goal in the first half. Kauê Furquim struck powerfully to score his second of the match. Brazil went into halftime with a 4-0 lead.

Brazil did not take its foot off the gas. Five minutes into the second half, the team coached by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci put together another fine move down the right, and who was there to find the net? Him again: Kauê Furquim, who scored his third goal of the match.

Even with a comfortable lead, Brazil did not stop attacking. The team created good plays down the flanks, both through Samuel and Arthur Monteiro, but goalkeeper Ronald Roel made good saves and prevented Brazil from adding to the score. And the match ended with a 5-0 win for the Seleção.
