Brazil adds another setback in Venezuela despite Raphinha’s great goal

The Brazilian men’s soccer team tied (1-1) this Thursday – early in the morning in Spain – in their visit to Venezuela during matchday 11 in the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, adding the ‘Canarinha’ another setback despite going ahead with a great goal from a free kick scored by Raphinha.

Near the break, the FC Barcelona forward executed that direct foul with his left foot from the balcony of the area; His shot, which had been born on the left side, hit the far post at mid-height and entered the goal defended by Rafael Romo. However, Telasco Segovia equalized the score as soon as the second half began.

In one of his first actions after taking the field at half-time, and in full concatenation of passes, Segovia made it 1-1 with a strong right foot from the edge of the area and which gained flight until beating the visiting goalkeeper, an Ederson Moraes without glow. Real Madrid player Vinícius Jr. did not shine either, who missed a penalty in the 62nd minute.

This tie placed Brazil with 17 points, seeing its third place threatened by Uruguay, and once again clouded its path in this CONMEBOL group towards the World Cup that in a year and a half will be played between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Meanwhile, the Venezuelan team was left with 12 points and extended a long streak without winning.
