On the morning of September 11, Brazil lost 0-1 to Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America.

In the 20th minute at Estadio ueno Defensores del Chaco (Asunción), when the score was 0-0, a chaotic situation appeared in front of goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s goal. Diego Gomez received the ball and then made a daring flick from outside the penalty area. The ball followed an unstoppable trajectory, hitting the post before entering the net, leaving the Brazilian goalkeeper helpless.

This was also the decisive moment of the match at Estadio ueno Defensores del Chaco. Host Paraguay burst into emotion when they had their first victory after 16 years of waiting against Brazil.

“Selecao” has had a terrible performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America with only one win in the last 5 matches, thereby dropping to 5th place and only 2 points above Paraguay’s play-off position.

The attacking trio currently playing for Real Madrid, Endrick, Vinicius, and Rodrygo, had a lackluster day. Endrick even disappeared from the field and was replaced right after the first half.

In the first 45 minutes, Brazil only had one notable chance in the 25th minute. When the Paraguay goalkeeper was eliminated, Guilherme Arana’s shot was blocked by the home team’s defender right on the goal line.

In the second half, Brazil increased the pace and created more opportunities. However, the “Samba Dancer”‘s attacks all ended with a shot that went high or missed the post, thereby accepting a humiliating defeat against an opponent who was rated lower.
