Estevao, Casemiro Score in Brazil Win

Brazil secured a 2-0 victory against fellow World Cup qualifiers Senegal in a friendly match held at London’s Emirates Stadium.

The goals highlighted a blend of youth and experience for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The scoring began in the 28th minute with a goal from 18-year-old talent Estevao, his fourth in 10 appearances for Brazil.

Shortly after, 33-year-old captain Casemiro doubled the lead, netting a spectacular strike from a Rodrygo free kick in the 35th minute.

Brazil controlled the first half, though Senegal created a significant chance early in the second half when Iliman Ndiaye hit the post.

Two-time African Player of the Year Sadio Mane was substituted after an uninspired performance for the African champions.

Both Brazil and Senegal have already qualified for the upcoming World Cup in North America.
