São Paulo, Nov 15 (V7N) — Five-time world champions Brazil tasted victory against Senegal for the first time, earning a confident 2-0 win in an international friendly on Saturday night. Goals from young sensation Estevão and veteran midfielder Casemiro sealed the historic triumph for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Brazil started the match with an attacking mindset, dominating possession and putting constant pressure on the Senegalese defense. Their efforts paid off in the 28th minute when 17-year-old winger Estevão unleashed a powerful left-footed strike to put the Seleção ahead.

Just seven minutes later, Brazil doubled their lead. Midfield anchor Casemiro found the net with a brilliant finish, giving Ancelotti’s men a solid 2-0 advantage heading into halftime.

Senegal had a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit shortly after the break but failed to convert. The second half saw a more balanced contest, with both teams creating chances but unable to score.

Brazil ultimately maintained their lead comfortably, leaving the field with a morale-boosting victory and an important first win over the African heavyweights.
