📹 Estêvão scores with an overhead kick as Brazil lead Chile, watch the goal | OneFootball

Brazil is leading Chile 1-0 at the Maracanã this Thursday (4th), in the 17th and penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

In the call-up for the September FIFA Date, coach Carlo Ancelotti stated he wanted to get to know more players to have more options to finalize the squad for the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

And Estêvão, just 18 years old and newly arrived at Chelsea after shining at Palmeiras, showed his "calling card."

The Blues' gem opened the scoring for the Brazilian National Team with a bicycle kick under the crossbar, after a great collective play on the left side, which ended with Raphinha finishing from inside the area.

The goalkeeper partially saved with his feet, but the ball went up and, when it came down, Estêvão connected with a back kick to shake the opponent's net.

😲 It was tough, you know

Before Estêvão scored, the performance of the Brazilian National Team was worrying the fans present at the Maraca.

In the first few minutes, Bruno Guimarães headed for a great save by the goalkeeper and, before five minutes, Casemiro scored with a header, but the play was annulled for offside by the experienced Manchester United midfielder.

It's true that Chile posed little threat. But Brazil, with the responsibility to always put on a show, also didn't show much creativity.

🤔 And the refereeing?

Maripán hit Wesley's leg and received a red card. However, after a VAR review, the referee only gave the Chilean defender a yellow card.

Casemiro didn't let it slide either and stomped on the Chilean's leg. This time, the referee was "consistent" and gave a yellow card to the Brazilian midfielder.

🧐 What to change?

With the lead against the team at the bottom of the Qualifiers, is it possible to extend the score? What's the way! Share your opinion!
