Arsenal’s player Gabriel Magalhaes scored the 1st goal in the match after Neymar’s assist from Corner to secure the lead for Brazil in the 50th minute. After that, Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr also scored, but his goal was disallowed for an offside.
Bello’s goal in the 85th minute meant that Venezuela would leave Brazil undefeated, and the point can be very important for the nation’s chances to make it to the World Cup in 2026.
Brazil is now in 2nd place in South American qualifying after 3 matches, as the new leader is Argentina, who won all of their games so far.
Uruguay, who will play at home against Brazil in their next match on 17 October, finished 2-2 vs. Colombia away from home after Darwin Nunez converted a penalty late in the clash to secure the point for his nation.
