Brazil easily beat Bolivia 5-0, including a brace from Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino, on Friday in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.
Defender Marquinhos and midfielder Coutinho also scored in a one-sided match, in which Neymar scored two goals, after doubts about his participation due to back pain.
In an empty stadium of fans in São Paulo due to the new Corona virus protocol, Bolivia showed no ambition against Brazil, which dominated every period of the match.
The five-time world champion quickly sought the net and, in the 16th minute, Marquinhos sent a Danilo header into the net to open the scoring.
Half an hour after kick-off, left-back Renan Lodi played a bare cross to the goalkeeper for Firmino, who doubled the score.
Brazil continued their pressure in the second half, and Neymar passed a golden ball to Firmino in his opening, which raised the difference to three interrogators, a personal double (49).
