Estêvão nets bicycle kick for Brazil v Chile, ex-Sporting involved (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 Seleção Canarinha, a beautiful technical move after a play by Raphinha, the former Sporting player.

Already qualified, Brazil dominated the entire match at the 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 on players with few minutes on the pitch. Luiz Henrique, Andrey Santos, and Kaio Jorge—who was once linked with a move to Sporting—were brought into the match by the Italian coach.

The second goal came from Lucas Paquetá in the 72nd minute, with Bruno Guimarães sealing the final score at 3-0 shortly after (76’). Chile, already eliminated from the World Cup, didn’t even manage to threaten the Brazilian goal.

Argentina leads the group with 38 points from 17 games—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.
