Carlo Ancelotti's Selecao was hoping to build some positive momentum after limping through qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, finishing fifth in the CONMEBOL qualification group, and two Premier League stars were on target as his side triumphed at Arsenal's home ground.

Brazil had four good chances to open the scoring in the first 10 minutes, with Edouard Mendy repelling two efforts from Vinicius Junior and one apiece from Manchester United duo Matheus Cunha and Casemiro.

Cunha then nodded Bruno Guimaraes' searching delivery against the crossbar, but the Selecao got its opening goal in the 28th minute as Casemiro's pass was deflected into the path of Estevao, who whipped a wonderful left-footed strike into the far corner.

Seven minutes later, it was 2-0 as Casemiro trapped Rodrygo's delivery from a deep free-kick before scooping an unorthodox finish into the top-right corner.

Ismaila Sarr drew a rare save from Ederson in first-half stoppage-time, while Iliman Ndiaye could only shoot against the post after Nicolas Jackson put the Brazil goalkeeper under pressure early in the second half.

Senegal was much improved throughout the second period, but that was the closest it came to a goal, with Brazil able to see out victory in relative comfort.
