It wasn't pretty, at all. Like, really horrible. And the stars of the game never did anything nice. But in the end, Brazil won their eighth game in a roll under their new coach Dunga, and fought hard against a tough Chile side in a friendly played at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Neymar and Claudio Bravo were the Barcelona representatives on this one, and they weren't that great. Especially the Brazilian, who served as a punching bag for the fierce defenders in red. Neymar eventually got tired of all the beating and delivered some blows himself, which awarded him a yellow card. That was really the highlight of the day for Neymar.
Oh, wait, I forgot this one:
Pretty basic stuff, right?
It was a true battle, with almost 50 fouls called, and LOTS of yellow cards. The only real chances came with Alexis Sanchez, the former Blaugrana who created havoc on Brazil's defense in the second half. He forced Brazil GK Jefferson to make some pretty good saves, but he wasn't able to find the net.
The only one who did find the net did it in beautiful fashion: young Roberto Firmino, who's establishing himself as a permanent answer in one of the Seleção's most precarious positions, scored a beauty after receiving a spectacular deep pass from almost-Barça player Danilo. He got past Bravo with ease, and delivered a nice no-look shot to bag the opener.
With another win, Brazil gets more confident as we get closer to the Copa América. And despite not having a great game, Neymar still showed us his brilliance.
