Brazil started the match against the Concacaf side with Alisson, Wesley, Bremer, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Raphinha, Luiz Henrique, Matheus Cunha and Vini Jr.

Igor Thiago, Rayan, Danilo Santos and Paquetá were, for example, among the main standouts in the second half.
