The Ballon d’Or runner up did not construct an affect again as Dorival Jr’s facet dropped extra points against Uruguay
Vinicius Jr’s underwhelming Brazil bustle continued, and the Selecao wanted a shock operate from a defensive midfielder to snatch a point as they settled for a 1-1 house draw with a wisely-drilled Uruguay facet Tuesday night. Federico Valverde’s opener was canceled out by a Gerson thunderbolt, leading to a tie that neither facet shall be joyful with.
Brazil poked, pried and prodded during the first half, but might maybe maybe never slash out a transparent opening. Vinicius, as ever, was their most obvious risk, but discovered himself continually nullified by the 2 – or even three – defenders routinely thrown his manner. Igor Jesus, Dorival’s most in model possibility at centre-ahead, never made his designate, both.
And Uruguay capitalised, with Valverde curling house a fantastic strike from outside the box after 55 minutes to construct it 1-0. The Selecao equaliser was an spectacular thing, Gerson volleying into the bottom nook to stage things on the hour. Brazil pushed extra after grabbing the operate, but nothing concrete came of it.
Vinicius did his bit, dipping and weaving thru defenders, but every gash-encourage from an very no longer seemingly angle landed at a grateful Uruguayan boot. By the pinnacle of all of it, Brazil were once again walking off house turf frustrated, and puzzled as to why this form of excessive powered attack merely can not click.
