An Shuai won a great victory in the test! Brazil swept Chile with three goals, Maracana entered the World Cup rhythm ahead of schedule

【Rio de Janeiro, September 5】

The night sky of Maracana was lit up by three-color fireworks, and the Brazilian men's football team used a 3-0 victory to draw an exclamation mark for the last home game before the 2026 World Cup. Ancelotti's "experimental class" delivered a full-scoring answer: freshmen scored, substitute instigation, and high pressure from the whole team. Samba's army used 90 minutes to tell South America that their World Cup sprint had started in advance.

**[First change move]**

Ancelotti handed the tactical board to 18-year-old Estewan before the game. The latter used the 37th minute tackle to repay this trust - the national team's debut goal, home court, World Cup qualifiers, and the script was so perfect that he couldn't even believe it himself. "I dedicated the goal to my mother who cried in the stands." The junior choked up at the broadcast camera after the game.

**[Controversial Moment]**

In the first half, Chilean central defender Malipan made a "logging" stomp and let Wesley go, and referee Herrera turned red at the first time. VAR intervened and changed the yellow card, and Maracana booed everywhere. Chile escaped, but failed to escape the second wave of Brazil.

**[Substitute murderous intention]**

After the side change, An Shuai replaced five players in a row, retaining the central axis and speeding up wings. In the 71st minute, Lucas Henrik, who had just made a 10-minute appearance, took a raw Suazo on the right, and made a cross from zero degrees to assist Paqueta to head the net - 2:0. Five minutes later, on the same wing, Henrik cut inward and shot from the post, and Bruno Guimaraes made a quick follow-up shot, 3:0! From the stands to the bench, there are calls for "Long live the coach".

**【Data Talk】**

- Brazil has 17 shots and 9 shots on the right side, with an expected goal of 2.41, efficient cashing out 3 goals;

- Chile has 0 shots on the right side, and has swallowed "zero eggs" for the first time since 2013;

- Estewan has become the second youngest player in the team history to score in the World Cup qualifiers, second only to Robinho in 2003.

**[Ship An]**

"We are not rotating, but evolving." The Italian coach presented the applause to the whole game after the game. "The children prove that Brazil's thickness can support the seven World Cup knockout matches." Asked whether he was worried about losing the home atmosphere, he shrugged: "If winning can bring fans to the United States and Canada, then let the away game become home."

** [Future schedule] **

Brazil has locked in the top spot in South America. Next Tuesday, they will fly to El Alto, at an altitude of 4,100 meters to challenge Bolivia. Ancelotti revealed that he would continue to rotate, "let everyone smell the scent of the World Cup turf." Chile was eliminated one round ahead of schedule, and Nico Cordoba's position as coach is in danger.

**【Eastern Egg】**

The final whistle sounded, and Kaka suddenly appeared on the sidelines and put a jersey with "Estêvão 2026" on the boy. The camera captured him whispering in his ear: "Welcome to join the legendary relay of Samba." Maracana once again completed the inheritance.
