The Seleção marched past Honduras to achieve their best run of victories since 1969, leaving the current coach two wins from Aymoré Moreira’s all-time record.
Roberto Firmino scored the only goal of the game as Dunga’s side made it 10 wins on the bounce, surpassing the nine won under João Saldanha in the run-up to World Cup 1970. He is two wins away from the all-time record, however, as 1962 World Cup-winning coach Aymoré Moreira won 12 on the bounce between 1961-62. Dunga is now targeting a clean sweep of Copa América Group B, knowing victories over Peru, Colombia and Venezuela would see him set a new record of 13 straight wins.
