MANAUS, BRAZIL - OCTOBER 14: Raphinha of Brazil acknowledges the fans as he leaves the pitch during a match between Brazil and Uruguay as part of South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022 at Arena Amazonia on October 14, 2021 in Manaus, Brazil. (Photo by Buda Mendes/Getty Images)

Brazil didn’t provide any scoring against Colombia last weekend as the result ended with a 0-0 draw, leading to criticism from the local media. Nonetheless, it seems as though the Seleção put on their scoring boots Thursday night against Uruguay. 

Neymar opened the scoring for the Brazil national team, and Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera stopped the 29-year-old’s initial shot. However, La Celeste’s defense left Leeds United forward Raphinha unmarked, jumped on the second chance to score, and made it 2-0 for the Seleção.
