Estêvão nets overhead kick for Brazil v Chile, ex-Sporting assists (video) | OneFootball

Brazil defeated Chile 3-0 in a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. The highlight of the night was Estêvão's debut goal for the Brazilian team, in a beautiful technical gesture, after a play by Raphinha, a former Sporting player.

Already qualified, Brazil dominated the entire match at Maracanã. Estêvão's goal came in the 38th minute, with Raphinha shooting for a good save by Lawrence Vigouroux. However, the ball rebounded to the Chelsea forward, who opened the scoring.

In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti made several changes, bringing in players with few minutes. Luiz Henrique, Andrey Santos, and Kaio Jorge - who was once linked to Sporting - were introduced into the match by the Italian coach.

The second goal came from Lucas Paquetá in the 72nd minute of the match, with Bruno Guimarães setting the final score at 3-0 shortly after (76'). Chile, already out of the World Cup, did not even threaten the Brazilian goal.

Argentina leads the group with 38 points from 17 matches - after defeating Venezuela. Brazil (28), Uruguay (27), Ecuador (26), Paraguay, and Colombia (25) are the other teams in the qualifying zone, with Venezuela (18) in the playoff spot.
