Ex-Flamengo, Vini Jr breaks Brazil World Cup record | OneFootball

Brazil drew 1-1 with Morocco, with a goal from ex-Flamengo player Vini Jr

The Brazilian National Team drew 1-1 with Morocco this Saturday (13), with direct involvement from Vini Jr. As a result, the player developed by Flamengo is the player with the most goal involvements for the Seleção at World Cups since making his tournament debut.

As such, the Ninho do Urubu academy product has now recorded 11 goals and nine assists in 51 appearances for the Brazilian National Team. At World Cups, however, the winger has scored three times and set up teammates on two occasions in the six matches he has played.

How did Vini score against Morocco?

The opening minutes between Brazil and Morocco saw the African team control more of the play. Then, a well-worked buildup ended with a chipped finish from Saibari. The forward lobbed Alisson and opened the scoring at MetLife Stadium. So both teams ended up with one point in Group C.

Did any Flamengo player play against Morocco?

Ancelotti named Lucas Paquetá in Brazil’s starting lineup against Morocco. The Flamengo-trained midfielder completed 31 of the 39 passes he attempted for the Seleção. However, the coach replaced the playmaker with Matheus Cunha in the second half.

Besides Paquetá, Ancelotti also brought on Danilo in place of Ibañez in the second half. The midfielder completed 32 of the 38 passes he attempted. He also made one interception and blocked one shot.

What does Brazil’s group look like?

Group C is one of the toughest in the World Cup. That is because, besides the Seleção and Morocco, the group also features Scotland, with Liverpool (ENG) left back Robertson. Haiti rounds out the quartet as the least fancied national team.

After Brazil and Morocco, Scotland and Haiti will play from 10 p.m. Brasília time this Saturday (13). The match will also take place in the United States and will be broadcast on CazéTV (YouTube), which is worth Brazil’s attention since the Seleção has one point.

When is Brazil’s next match?

With four Flamengo players available, the Brazilian National Team will face Haiti at 7 p.m. Brasília time on Friday (19). The match will take place at Philadelphia Stadium in the United States.
