Brazil v Venezuela, 2018 Fifa World Cup Qualifiers - Yet another victory for the Selecao under Tite


So, Brazil register yet another win under Tite on a dark, rainy night in Merida. The Selecao notched up a 2-0 win against Venezuela. The conditions were not comfortable one and the power cuts in the middle periods did dent the interest and pace to a great extent.  There was not much temp in the match, but a mixture of quite and powerful attacks. It was more about the mistakes of the opposing team, which helped to initiate the attacks.  

Gabriel Jesus has now scored four goals from just four international matches. Whenever he touched the ball, one could relish delicacy. Neymar’s absence was not felt fully as because the likes of Coutinho and Willian gave their effort to keep the Venezuela defence busy. Renato Augusto controlled the midfield well and the defence was very compact.

I expected at least two more goals in the second half and it might have happened, had one goal was not ruled out due to offside and some of the chances didn’t go begging.


It was a just a good performance under such circumstances and I happy to see Brazil regroup immediately as soon as they lose possession and start building an attack.  

Thank You
