Today, a friendly match took place between the national teams of Brazil and Mexico at Kyle Field Stadium in College Station, USA.

The match was quite spectacular, with Brazil quickly taking the lead and doubling their advantage early in the second half. Mexico managed to come back and equalize in the second minute of added time, but the young talent from Palmeiras, and future Real Madrid player, Endrick, sealed the victory for Seleção in the 90+6 minute.

Additionally, this match was notable for an unusual jersey number worn by the goalkeeper. Alisson Becker, who guarded Brazil's net and is the main goalkeeper for Liverpool, played in a jersey with the number 110. This number is quite uncommon in football, but after the match, the reason for this choice was revealed.

The match against Mexico was Alisson's 110th appearance as the captain of the Brazilian national team, and this number was chosen to honor this milestone.

It is worth noting that Alisson has been repeatedly linked with a move from Liverpool to a club in Saudi Arabia, but these rumors were previously dispelled by Fabrizio Romano. The insider stated that both the goalkeeper and Liverpool are satisfied and do not plan to part ways in the near future. The Brazilian's contract runs until 2027, and he is likely to continue protecting Liverpool's goal.
