Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil side defeated Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in their final warm-up match ahead of their World Cup debut.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil defeated Egypt 2-1 on Saturday at the Cleveland Browns’ NFL stadium, in their final friendly ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Neymar was the major absentee as he continues his recovery from a muscle injury in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah made his first senior appearance against Brazil, coming off the bench for a modest 45-minute cameo.
ALERT AND CLINICAL
Bruno Guimaraes made the most of his opportunity and Egypt's defensive lapse to break the deadlock in the seventh minute, putting Brazil ahead early in the match.
MARQUINHOS RETURNS THE FAVOR
Egypt responded just three minutes later through Mostafa Zico, who capitalized on a costly mistake by Marquinhos.
The Brazilian defender's attempted back pass went straight into the path of the Egyptian forward, allowing him to level the score at 1-1.
THE GAME-CHANGER
Olympique Lyonnais youngster Endrick continues to showcase the form that has made him one of the standout young talents in Ligue 1.
Coming off the bench at halftime, the Brazilian forward made an immediate impact, restoring Brazil's lead in the 52nd minute with a accurate finish.
Despite the victory, questions remain around the Seleção, as it was largely Brazil’s second unit that decided the match, with Endrick scoring the winning goal to seal the result.
