Brazil secured a 2-0 victory over Senegal in an electrifying friendly at Emirates Stadium, with goals from Estevao and Casemiro before halftime delighting the passionate crowd.
Brazil claimed a 2–0 win over Senegal in an international friendly at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, sealing the result before half-time. Estevão opened the scoring after 28 minutes, pouncing on a deflected Casemiro effort and curling his finish beyond Edouard Mendy. Casemiro doubled the advantage nine minutes later, meeting Rodrygo’s free-kick at the back post and firing across goal after a VAR review confirmed he was onside.
Brazil dominated early chances, with Vinícius Júnior, Matheus Cunha and Rodrygo all testing Mendy. Senegal responded with pressure at the end of the first half, but Ederson kept out efforts from Ismail Jakobs and Antoine Mendy to preserve the lead.
The second half brought a setback for Brazil as defender Gabriel went off injured with a suspected groin issue. Senegal pushed forward late on, but Brazil held firm to close out the match.
Brazil face Tunisia next in France, while Senegal meet Kenya in their final fixture before the Africa Cup of Nations.
