"Estevao netted an incredible first competitive goal for Brazil to set them on their way to a 3-0 win over Chile in their penultimate World Cup qualifier. Brazil moved up to second in the qualifying table, while Chile's woes went on as they failed to pose a threat to Carlo Ancelotti's team in his first match at the Maracana. Casemiro had a glancing header disallowed for offside in the fourth minute,"
"Lawrence Vigouroux smothered Raphinha's left-sided shot, but just when it looked like it was looping in, Estevao helped it over the line with a bicycle kick between two defenders. Moments later, Gabriel Martinelli dragged a chance for a second Brazil goal wide before Guillermo Maripan was shown a red card for clipping Wesley's Achilles, but it was downgraded to a yellow card after a VAR review on the stroke of half-time."
