Brazil began their journey in the Qatar 2022 Qualifier with a 5-0 victory over Bolivia, which they gave up with goals from Marquinhos, Roberto Firmino, twice; Philippe Coutinho and one on Carrasco’s own door.
Under heavy rain, Canarinha showed its strength and solidity at the Neo Química Arena stadium in Sao Paulo and continues without losing at home in a World Cup qualifying match.
Everything went perfectly for Tite’s team, who once again had the aggressiveness that he lost in the friendlies that followed the 2019 Copa de América title, and showed the best version of Neymar, recovered in time from his lumbar discomfort, although somewhat anxious facing the goal.
Bolivia was harmless, overwhelmed by the Canarinha wing play, which cemented its triumph in the first half hour with Marquinhos goals, in a rehearsed play, and Firmino, a pass from Lodi, and sentenced at the beginning of the second half with the second of the Liverpool forward. In the last half hour, Carrasco scored on his own goal after the deflection with the head of Madridista Rodrygo, and Coutinho closed the account in the 73rd minute. Goalkeeper Lampe avoided a major disaster.
With this win, Brazil is the leader of the qualifying rounds on the first day with three points, the same as Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina. Next Tuesday they will face Peru in Lima.
Before the opening whistle, the game was loaded with milestones. It was the first time that Brazil started a qualifying round at home and played without an audience in the stands, due to restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
