Result of maintaining the Brazilian team with 100% success and makes the time reach a record of seven consecutive victories in the competition
Despite the performance well below expectations, Brazil beat Chile 1-0, at the Monumental Stadium, in Santiago, for the 7th round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers. With the victory, the Brazilian team reached the record of seven consecutive victories in the competition, leaving behind the legendary 70-year-old team, which at the time, won six straight trump cards. It is noteworthy that the dispute had a different format.
After a first half with Chile being dominant, coach Tite decided to change it at half-time. Gerson and Erverton Ribeiro took the place of Bruno Guimarães and Vinícius Júnior, respectively, and it worked. In one of Brazil’s rare good plays, Everton Ribeiro took advantage of the rebound by goalkeeper Bravo, who had made a good save on Neymar’s kick, and scored for a selection, which was necessary for the three points.
Brazil remains the isolated leader of the Qualifiers, with 21 points (seven victories in seven games). Next Sunday (5), a team faces Argentina, which is currently in second place, with 15 points. The game will be at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo. Chile, on the other hand, is outside the qualifying zone for the Copa. La Roja is in seventh place with seven points and now faces Ecuador away from home.
