With two goals from Rodrygo, one from Raphinha and another double from Neymar, Brazil beat Bolivia 5-1 this Friday in the city of Belém, at the close of the first date of the South American Qualifiers in search of achieving perfect attendance at the World Cups .
Victor Abrego scored for Gustavo Costas’ team, which was widely surpassed despite the fact that, around the quarter of an hour, goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra saved a penalty from Neymar; However, the Brazilian captain scored a double in the complement and surpassed Pelé by two as Scratch’s all-time top scorer with 79 conquests.
The first half had Verdeamarela largely dominant, with a first arrival from a free kick executed by Neymar after 3 minutes that was very close.
Meanwhile, ten minutes later, a handball inside the Bolivian area gave Brazil’s number 10 the chance to convert from a penalty, but goalkeeper Viscarra, in a great reaction, denied it.
However, those led by Costas could do nothing shortly after, when after a shot by Raphinha and a rebound, Rodrygo was able to put his team ahead on the scoreboard.
While the Bolivians could not even get close to the rival goal, Brazil continued to have successive scoring opportunities again with Raphinha, Richarlison and Neymar, but everything ended with a minimal advantage before the break.
Back from the locker room, the story didn’t change much. In truth, the Canarinha had no mercy against the Altiplano team, who suffered a goal from Raphinha, another from Rodrygo and near the end Neymar appeared to take revenge for the wasted penalty and sign his own double that elevates him above Pelé as top scorer of the Brazilian team heading to the United States-Mexico-Canada 2026 World Cup.
