In a game with six goals, Spain and Brazil drew (3-3) at the Santiago Bernabéu, this Tuesday.
The Portuguese António Nobre refereed the preparatory meeting and was very active, also due to the heated mood on the part of both teams.
Wendell was once again a starter in the «canarinha» and it was precisely on the left side of the Brazilians that «La Roja» began to cause damage. Lamine Yamal started with everything in the first half and even scored a penalty, in the 12th minute, after a shared play with João Gomes.
With the kick, Rodri took the lead to the Spanish side, who confirmed their superiority in the game shortly after half an hour, thanks to a true work of art by Dani Olmo (36m).
However, before the break, Brazil took advantage of an error by Unai Simon in the first build-up phase and Rodrygo, with a hat on the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper, reduced it to 2-1 (40m).
For the second half, Dorival Júnior made four changes, including the entry of Endrick, who took just five minutes to present himself at the Bernabéu, the stadium he will call home next season.
After a corner, the Palmeiras forward took advantage of the penalty spot and, first time, shot for equality.
The 2-2 was broken in the 87th minute, at a time when Galeno had already been launched for his debut – he came on in the 82nd minute. António Nobre again signaled a foul in the Brazilian area, again with many doubts in the mix, and Rodri didn’t waste it.
Even at the end of the day, the «escrete» held the tie. Carvajal grabbed Galeno in the area, the FC Porto forward fell and immediately asked for a penalty, which was promptly awarded.
Lucas Paquetá beat Unai Simón and scored the final 3-3, which generated many celebrations from the Brazilians, to the displeasure of the Spanish team’s bench.
Unlike Wendell and Galeno, Pepê was not used.
