The Brazil National Football Team has risen up to the fourth spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL Qualifiers points table after their 1-0 win over Ecuador in the last match. Rodrygo scored the match-winner for Brazil in the first half. Brazil were able to defend well as they did not concede a goal. The night of the Brazil vs Ecuador match was a quiet one for Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. Although Vini Jr managed to create some space for his Brazilian teammates, he also looked uncomfortable at some moments of the game. Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Inspires’ Harry Kane To Play As Long as Possible Ahead of His 100th Appearance for England.

Vini Jr attracted defenders very well but could not get anything out of it. Brazil's midfield was a stronghold of the match as they stopped a good number of attacks and also helped the attackers with their playmaking skills. Lucas Paqueta provided Rodrygo with the assist for the only score during the match. Brazil can move a spot up as they take on Paraguay which will not be a tough competition for them. Paraguay will also be desperate for a win and will fancy their chances.
