Brazil encountered difficulties, but won again in the pre-Olympic football tournament. The green-yellow team defeated Ecuador 2-1, coming from behind, at the Brígido Iriarte stadium, in Caracas, and secured early classification for the final quadrangular.
Patrik Kleiver opened the scoring for the Ecuadorian team, 14 minutes into the second half, with a deflected shot from outside the area. But Marlon Gomes, at 20, completed Endrick’s good move. And, at 30, Pirani tried to finish twice before finding the net.
With nine points from three matches, Ramon Menezes’ men lead Group A and can no longer be overtaken. Even in the event of a defeat to the tournament host, Venezuela, next Thursday (1st), they will maintain first place.
Thus, Brazil will compete in the final quadrangular of the competition, which is worth a place at the Paris Olympic Games for the top two placed. Champion in Rio de Janeiro, in 2016, and in Tokyo, in 2021, the team is looking for another gold medal in 2024.
