The Brazilian National Team beat Egypt 2-1 this Saturday (06) in the final warm-up friendly before the World Cup. With that, Coluna do Fla brings details on the performances of the Flamengo players who took the field at Huntington Bank Field.
Yes! Lucas Paquetá was the only Flamengo player in the starting lineup for the match between Brazil and Egypt. The midfielder played in the first half and was substituted at halftime for Luiz Henrique. He therefore had one shot, completed 24 of 27 passes, and made four ball recoveries.
Despite not being in the starting lineup, Danilo played almost the full 90 minutes, since he came on in the 17th minute of the first half after Wesley felt pain in his left groin. The defender completed 33 of 39 passes, made four tackles, and had six ball recoveries.
Léo Pereira was brought on by Carlo Ancelotti at halftime, replacing Ibañez. In 45 minutes, the center back had a 100% passing rate, completing all 26 passes, in addition to four defensive contributions and one ball recovery.
Unlike his other Flamengo teammates, Alex Sandro got only a few minutes in Brazil’s match. Coach Ancelotti brought the full-back on in the 26th minute of the second half in place of Douglas Santos. As a result, the player completed eight passes with a 100% success rate and had one defensive contribution.
Brazil opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the first half through Bruno Guimarães, after a mistake by Egypt’s defense. However, in the 11th minute, Marquinhos gave the ball away at Ziko’s feet, and he leveled the friendly. Then in the second half, in the 7th minute, after a good individual play by Raphinha, Endrick received the ball inside the box and secured the win for the Seleção.
The Brazilian National Team will now begin preparations for its World Cup debut. On Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (paid channel), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV), and N Sports (paid channel) will broadcast the Brazilian National Team’s debut.
