Brazil's victory over Chile was not only an important step in the Qualifiers but also an opportunity for some players to showcase their skills to coach Carlo Ancelotti.
With fierce competition for a spot in the squad going to the World Cup, some performances deserve to be highlighted.
Who might have earned points with the coach:
Luiz Henrique: The forward came onto the field and brought new energy and speed to the offensive sector. His ability to take on defenders and create opportunities, even in a short time, left a great impression. He got everything right and was responsible for the plays in two goals.
Bruno Guimarães: The midfielder demonstrated impressive versatility. With precise tackles and sharp game vision, Bruno was fundamental in building plays and protecting the defense. Besides dictating the pace of the midfield and distributing the ball with quality, he appeared in the small area to score the third goal.
Douglas Santos: On the left flank, Douglas Santos showed defensive security and constant support for the attack. His tactical discipline and quality in crosses were a differential, proving to be a reliable option for Ancelotti, especially in a still undefined sector.
Lucas Paquetá: The attacking midfielder had a decisive performance, actively participating in offensive plays. With dazzling dribbles and passes that broke the Chilean lines, Paquetá proved to be one of the team's main playmakers. He also showed opportunism by scoring with a header.
