Similar to the previous game, this time too, coach Tita placed a particularly strong lineup, which also included his senior goalkeeper who was eliminated in Seoul – Alison Becker from Liverpool. The guest came up with more opportunities, but failed to score until the 77th minute. Neymar’s kick was stopped by local goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda, Richarlison failed as he tried to get to the rebound and the referee whistled for Pendel. Neymar Dyke from the penalty spot in the only goal of the match, and now he is only three goals away from a defeat – the king of all-time team goals.
Brazil have finished their part in the current national team break and their next match will be played in September, when they will meet Argentina for the World Cup qualifiers. Recall, the original meeting between the teams was stopped after Brazilian police stopped the confrontation following a violation of the alleged instructions by some Argentine players. Although the game is official, it has no significance beyond prestige and rivalry in light of the fact that both teams have already secured their place in the World Cup.
In another game in Asia, South Korea recovered from the defeat to Brazil with a 0: 2 victory over Chile. Wang Hi-chan of Wolves scored the first goal in the 12th minute, and Tottenham star Jung Min-sun doubled in the 90th minute. South Korea will hold two more friendly matches in the current break, against Paraguay this coming Friday and against Egypt four days later.
