đŸŽ„ Ancelotti under pressure, EstĂȘvĂŁo earns Brazil first-half draw

The Brazilian National Team did not have an easy time in the first half of Tuesday's (18th) friendly match against Tunisia.

Playing in Lille and "away from home" due to the presence of a large number of Tunisians and supporters, Brazil went into halftime tied at 1-1.

They struggled against the African team, improved their performance, and equalized with another goal from EstĂȘvĂŁo before the break. 

There was even a "Libertadores atmosphere" with flares and fireworks.


Struggled without the ball

The right side of the Brazilian defense was the Tunisian "target" from the start.

Already yellow-carded at nine minutes after struggling with Hannibal Mejbri, Wesley made a mistake that led to Mastouri's goal (23').

Bento also drew attention for not providing the expected security in the early minutes. 

There were several marking mismatches. 

Team 'saved' by VAR

Tunisia's good marking was a challenge for Brazil's creation.

There was an improvement in offensive production as the minutes passed and then pressure in the final minutes.

Pressure that "resulted" in the penalty committed by Bronn - for handball.

It was up to EstĂȘvĂŁo to score once again with an unstoppable shot (44').

Rodrygo was another who managed to take on responsibility.
