Brazil ends international break with four goals against India and continues to build its new generation

The Brazilian national team concluded the international break with a big victory over their Indian counterparts, after settling the friendly match that brought them together on Saturday evening with a score of 4-0, at the «Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan» stadium in the city of Kolkata. Coach Carlo Ancelotti's team achieved a comfortable win in the first historic encounter between the two teams at the senior level.

Brazil entered the match with a clear advantage, benefiting from the technical differences between the two sides, but it needed some time to translate its dominance into goals. Then, Estevão succeeded in opening the scoring in the 28th minute, after receiving the ball inside the penalty area and creating space for himself before firing a powerful shot that found the back of the net.

The Brazilian national team continued its pressure and attacking movements, and succeeded in doubling its lead before the end of the first half, after Estevão sent a distinctive through pass to Pedro, who went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and successfully shot the ball in the 42nd minute, ending the first half with the Samba team leading by two goals to nil.

At the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti made several changes to give opportunities to a number of players, including the entry of Samuel Lino in place of Vinícius Júnior. The Flamengo player did not delay in making his mark.

In the 58th minute, Lino converted one of Brazil's attacks into the third goal, after receiving the ball from Pedro inside the penalty area, and skillfully placing it into the Indian team's net, confirming Brazil's superiority and widening the gap.

Despite the many changes made by Ancelotti, the Brazilian national team maintained its control until the final minutes, while continuing to search for more goals. Then, Samuel Lino returned in stoppage time to conclude the evening with his second personal goal and the fourth for his country, according to the events shown in the match report that was sent.

On the other hand, the Indian national team tried to keep up with its guest and appear in a better image, but it found great difficulty in dealing with Brazil's quality and the speed of its players' movements, especially with the continued Brazilian pressure and the multiple substitutions that kept the team in a state of attacking activity until the final whistle.

With this victory, Brazil ended the current international break strongly, after drawing against Australia in the first match and then winning against them 4-2 in the second encounter, before concluding its tour with a four-goal victory over India.

These matches come as part of a new phase for the Brazilian national team under Ancelotti, who has started to give more space to young players and test new names alongside experienced players, with the aim of building a team capable of competing in future tournaments. The coach had confirmed before the India match that these games represent an opportunity for young players to show their abilities, not just a test of results.
