Tunisia’s early lead was canceled by an Estevao penalty, but Brazil squandered another spot-kick from Lucas Paqueta and several chances, resulting in a frustrating 1-1 draw despite late drama.
Player Ratings: Brazil
Goalkeeper
Bento (5/10): He might have been sharper in dealing with Tunisia’s opener — rushing out quicker could’ve narrowed Mastouri’s angle.
Wesley (5/10): Picked up a yellow early on and struggled to influence things going forward after that.
Marquinhos (7/10): Dependable on the ball all night — very few misplaced passes, and he handled Tunisia’s rare threats calmly.
Éder Militao (6/10): Did okay until being forced off after about an hour due to injury.
Caio Henrique (7/10): Solid defensively and offered more going forward than his counterpart on the opposite side.
Midfield
Estêvão Willian (8/10): Held his nerve to convert a penalty after VAR review, despite a hostile atmosphere. He remains the most threatening presence and continues his fine streak, now scoring five times in six games for Brazil this season.
Bruno Guimarães (6/10): Got into good positions but didn’t make the most of his time on the ball.
Casemiro (7/10): Controlled play in midfield, recycled possession well, and looked composed while driving forward.
Attack
Rodrygo (6/10): Had a few glimpses of brightness, but overall it was a frustrating night with limited decisive impact.
Matheus Cunha (5/10): Quiet showing — just 21 touches before being taken off at halftime.
Vinícius Júnior (6/10): Didn’t test the Tunisian defense much, but his pressure contributed to Brazil winning their second penalty.
Substitutes
Danilo (5/10): Came on at halftime, didn’t face much defending but didn’t push the team forward either.
Vitor Roque (6/10): Won the second penalty, though Brazil ultimately couldn’t capitalize.
Fabrício Bruno (6/10): Solid when he came on, helped shore up the back.
Fabinho (5/10): Saw very little of the ball, with limited influence in his half-hour.
Lucas Paquetá (5/10): Had a golden chance to be the hero from the spot late on — but his penalty sailed well over the bar.
