At the National Stadium in the capital Santiago, Chile soon imposed the game. They continuously coordinated short passes in the middle of the field, stretched the flanks, then crossed inside or changed the direction of to the center. In the 2nd minute, Brazil had to pay the price for their man-marking mistake. Eduardo Vargas comfortably received a cross from the right wing, then headed it into the far corner to defeat goalkeeper Ederson.

In this match, Ederson started because Alisson Becker was injured. In addition, Brazil was weakened because they lost their main striker Vinicius and the mainstay center-back Bremer for the same reason.

Brazil’s midfield also could not hold the ball. The trio Andre, Lucas Paqueta and Raphinha lacked a common voice in the blocking and attacking phases. In the 13th minute, Chile almost doubled the gap, but Dario Osorio’s long-range shot went wide, past three Brazilian midfielders.

Brazil only played better from the end of the first half. They equalized 1-1 in a from the penalty area in the 45+1 minute. Receiving a cross from the right wing, Igor Jesus headed it into the far corner of the Chilean goal.

Jesus scored in his first match for the national team. The 23-year-old striker recently returned to Brazil to play for Botafogo, after four years with Shabab Al Ahli in the UAE. Coach Dorival has more faith in Jesus than Endrick – the 18-year-old star who plays for Real Madrid.
