## Crucial World Cup Qualifier: Brazil vs Paraguay (2025)

Tonight (June 10, 8:45 PM ET / June 11, 1:45 AM BST), Brazil hosts Paraguay at São Paulo’s **Neo Química Arena** in a pivotal **CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifier**.

**Brazil**, under new coach **Carlo Ancelotti**, seeks its first win after a frustrating 0–0 draw with Ecuador. Sitting **4th in the standings (22 points)**, they face pressure to secure direct qualification. Star winger **Raphinha returns** from suspension, likely joining **Vinícius Júnior** in attack.

**Paraguay**, unbeaten in **nine matches**, stunned Uruguay 2–0 last week and sits **3rd (24 points)**. Their resilient defense (only 9 goals conceded in 15 games) and counter-attacking threat—led by **Miguel Almirón** and **Julio Enciso**—make them dangerous. Paraguay won their last qualifier clash 1–0 (September 2024).

**Tactical Outlook**: Brazil will dominate possession, but Paraguay’s compact shape and physicality could force a low-scoring affair. **Prediction: Narrow Brazil win or draw**.⚽🔥 #Soccer #Football #Highlights #Goals #Sports

00:00Yes, they have won the Copa America nine times, but remember
00:06Argentina and Uruguay, those much better records than that in this great competition
00:12Time to get a move on
00:19Rafinha
00:30And it's wide at the target
00:36Here's Wendell, he's trying to make the scoreline look even more
00:44Rafinha chasing it, in
00:49Rafinha's just telling the referee that
00:59Divini Junior again
01:03And of course they still have the special talents
01:07And here's Brazil, in their opener against Costa Rica
01:11For Savinho
01:12Well there was a lot of that in all honesty
01:17In the opening game
01:19A lot worse off without him
01:27And here he goes
01:28Can he finish it?
01:29Yes he does!
01:30Yes he does!
01:34Goalmaker becomes goal taker when Brazil really needed it
01:37Vinicius Junior
01:39Cascades of relief all around the stadium
01:56Breathing space at last for Brazil
02:00The night when they really feel they've got to prove a point
02:04To the doubters
02:05So much for the trickery that preceded this
02:12Here's Vinicius Junior
02:15At his if
02:17Proper
02:19Friday night entertainment
02:21In Las Vegas
02:23No knowing what will happen next
02:28Velazquez
02:29Vinio who got his first international goal
02:33Just come off second best Vinicius Junior
02:39So far tonight
02:40All in confrontation between
02:44The decision here is penalty
02:49And again Paraguay scarcely
02:53Proffer
02:55Even a token protest
02:57Savinho
03:00Tricking and dancing
03:01Might have hit it
03:03Didn't want to hit it
03:04Eventually he did hit it
03:05For the first half penalty
03:07Which was missed
03:08Same run up
03:09This time he finds the net
03:10Brazil go 4-1 up
03:12Lucas Paquitar
03:13Go off the longer run
03:42But it is Rodrigo
03:43And he did hit it
03:44Playing his part certainly
03:49Oh
03:49And Velazquez
03:51Accepted their fate
03:59I'll say
04:03And then Almeron
04:04Maybe with one goal in the
04:08Vinicius Junior
04:10Quite clearly
04:15Because it is
04:18Vinicius Junior
04:21Who lets Paraguay off
04:23Further punishment there
04:24But an ego
04:25Punched it out
04:26But none too convinced
04:27In Enric
04:28Here is Wendel
04:32And Cissos free kick
04:36Oh not missing by much
04:38Velazquez at the header
04:42That's well struck
04:46What a start to the second half
04:48Alderete
04:49Paraguay hit back
04:54And hit back hard
04:55Perhaps a team
05:03Feeling that they've got
05:05Plenty to prove
05:06Given the way they
05:08Seem to
05:09Completely
05:10Fall apart
05:12For ten minutes or so
05:13Near half time
05:14But a most unlikely goal scorer
05:18Omar Alderete
05:20Cannot have hit many sweeter
05:24Than that in his whole career
05:25So what next?
05:29No scoring winger
05:30He proved to be
05:31Last season
05:31But
05:32Miguel Almeron
05:33And Cissos
05:35Both play in Serie A
05:36And here he is
05:37And he very nearly came up
05:40With a memorable moment
05:42Bobadier of San Paolo
05:44Very nearly scored
05:45Past Alisson
05:46That would have been
05:49One of the stories
05:50Of the
05:51Open
05:51Velazquez
05:58Takes him on again
06:01Gets a corner out
06:02Regal
06:03Montenegro keeps it out
06:06But not for long
06:07It is two
06:08And Savinho
06:10Scores for Brazil
06:11A great moment
06:15For this young player
06:16It was a present
06:25As Paraguay
06:27Were picked apart
06:28Venugumaris
06:31Crashed one
06:32Against the crossbar
06:33Paraguay
06:34Never regrouped
06:35After that
06:45And from
06:46Treading water
06:47Nil-nil
06:48And in
06:49A fair amount of bother
06:51A few moments
06:52Of real class
06:53Rodrigo was so composed
06:56When it came his way
06:58On the
06:58Over the top
07:02It's Paquitar
07:07Big goalkeeper
07:09Mornigo
07:10So for Rodrigo
07:13Are Paraguay
07:15Going to make life
07:16Difficult
07:17Poche
07:18He hasn't given up
07:19On it either
07:19Still not giving up
07:21On it
07:22It's three
07:22That's calamitous
07:23From Paraguay's
07:24Point of view
07:25Vinicius Junior
07:30All smiles
07:31He's got two
07:33Brazil lead
07:34Three nothing
07:35All wrapped up
07:36With a pretty bow
07:37That by Paraguay
07:38Absolutely
07:40Catastrophic
07:41From their
07:41Point of view
07:42Their concentration
07:43Broken
07:44By the
07:45Contrétent
07:46Which preceded it
07:48Hot under the collar
07:52One minute
07:52Vinicius Junior
07:54And Rodrigo
07:55And right back
07:56To purpose
07:57When the whistle
07:59Went to play again
08:00And nobody bothered
08:02To run
08:03With Vinicius Junior
08:04Until then
08:05Yeah
