Brazil Trashed Paraguay By 4-0 In The World Cup Qualifier

Brazil has already qualified for the World Cup and is unbeaten in the group

Brazil defeated Paraguay 4-0 in the World Cup qualifier. Brazil played without their captain and of the best players in the world, Neymar.

Earlier, his club PSG was defeated by Nice in the penalty shootout. PSG will now not feature in the finals of Coupe de France.

However, Brazil scored twice in the last four minutes of the game, including a first international goal for Real Madrid striker Rodrygo.

The 4-0 defeat ended Paraguay’s hope of qualifying for the World Cup and cemented Brazil’s position as one of the favourites to lift the trophy in December.

Brazil tops the South American group with no defeats in 15 games and the win extended to 61 matches their unbeaten home record in World Cup qualifiers. Paraguay, who have yet to win any of their first five games under Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto, are second from the bottom of the 10-team group with 13 points from 16 games.

Brazil scored twice in the last four minutes, including a first international goal for Real Madrid striker Rodrygo, to cap a comfortable 4-0 win over Paraguay in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier in Belo Horizonte.

The defeat ended Paraguay's hopes of qualifying for Qatar and further cemented Brazil's position as one of the favourites to lift the trophy in December.

Paraguay, who have yet to win any of their first five games under Coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto, are second from the bottom of the 10-team group with 13 points from 16 games.

It was a successful but frustrating night for Raphinha, who scored one, had another chalked off and also hit the post.

The Leeds United winger thought he had put Brazil 1-0 up after just 93 seconds only to see the goal ruled out after a lengthy consultation with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). 

Philippe Coutinho scored twice for the home side just after the hour when he placed a sumptuous shot into the top corner of the net from 30 meters out. Antony made the scoreline more reflective of the play with four minutes left when he curled a left-foot shot past a helpless keeper and Rodrygo tapped home a minute later to round off a commanding performance from the five-time world champions.
