Brazil ended Senegal’s 10-match unbeaten streak with a comfortable 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, securing only their second win in five games against African opposition.

After squandering a two-goal lead in their last friendly against Japan, the Selecao came out firing, threatening the Senegal goal multiple times in the opening 20 minutes. Matheus Cunha had the best early chance, rising highest in the six-yard box, but his header rattled the crossbar.

Brazil eventually broke the deadlock in the 28th minute through Estevão. The youngster rifled in his fourth international goal in five appearances, curling a brilliant strike into the far bottom-left corner.

The lead was doubled 10 minutes later when Casemiro controlled Rodrygo’s free-kick inside the box and curled a stunning effort into the corner, marking his third goal in four games for club and country.

Brazil faced a scare after halftime when Ederson lost possession under pressure from Senegal substitute Nicolas Jackson. Iliman Ndiaye capitalized on the loose ball but could only hit the post.

As the match progressed, the likelihood of a third goal diminished, with neither side creating significant attacking opportunities. The final 10 minutes saw the contest peter out, typical of a friendly encounter.

Ultimately, it was a convincing response from Carlo Ancelotti’s side after losing two of their previous three matches, while Senegal suffered their third successive friendly defeat.
