Brazil delivered a commanding 3–0 victory over Chile in their penultimate 2026 World Cup qualifier, dominating the match at the iconic Maracana Stadium.
The result lifts the Selecao to second place in the CONMEBOL standings, with qualification for the tournament already secured.
Despite missing key attackers Neymar and Vinicius Junior, Brazil fielded a youthful squad that controlled the game from the outset.
Under the guidance of head coach Carlo Ancelotti, the hosts maintained 65% possession and registered 22 shots on goal, while Chile managed only three attempts.
Ancelotti praised the performance and maturity of the younger players, many of whom play for top European clubs. Brazil will conclude their World Cup qualifying campaign on September 10.
