As soon as the match began, Brazil tried to set the tone for the duel with brave and offensive play and this plan paid off right away, since after an excellent rebound from Andrey Santos, Fluminense forward John Kennedy took the opportunity to filter a ball almost perfect to Endrick.
The Palmeiras footballer and future Real Madrid jewel did not waste the opportunity and, after struggling with a defender to control the ball at will, he ran to the rival area and finished almost from outside the area, hitting the ball into the left post of the Bolivian goalkeeper and scoring the 1-0 in the 3rd minute.
During the match, Brazil had opportunities to score another goal, but in the end the scoreboard did not move any further and Ramón Menezes’ men achieved their goal.
In other news, Bolivia’s Brazilian coach Antonio Zago was expelled from the match after throwing a bottle at the fourth official.
With this key victory, Brazil must wait for the result of the duel between Ecuador and Venezuela that will be played tonight to know its place in the table.
Amarelinhas‘s next game will be on Friday the 26th against Colombia. On the 29th they will face Ecuador and will close on February 2 against Venezuela.
