As a reminder, Brazil continues its battle for a spot at the 2026 World Cup. The Seleção currently sit fourth in the qualifying standings, holding a four-point advantage over Venezuela, who occupy the playoff zone.

It's worth noting that in their previous qualifier, Brazil were unable to overcome Ecuador—the match ended in a goalless 0-0 draw. The next test awaits on June 11, when Brazil host Paraguay. Paraguay are currently third in the table, two points ahead of Brazil.

On a personal note, Vinícius has struggled to find his best form in this qualifying campaign, recording just 1 goal and 2 assists across 10 matches.
