Brazil v Egypt

Brazil round off their 2026 World Cup preparations with a 2-1 victory over Egypt in Ohio! The final rehearsal began chaotically as a pair of early mistakes produced a goal apiece – Lasheen caught dwelling for Guimaraes to sweep home, before Marquinhos’ loose back‑pass gifted Zico the equaliser. Brazil carved out the clearer openings, reflected in an xG of 1.80 to Egypt’s 0.40, and eventually found the winner when Endrick came off the bench to finish after superb wide play from Raphinha. Hossam Hassan’s side can still take real confidence from the contest, though they’ll know they need Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush firing if they’re to make a dent in the tournament. That’s all from us here – we’ll see you for LIVE World Cup coverage next week. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BRAZIL 2-1 EGYPT

Danilo Santos is down with a head injury after being caught by a flailing arm, and he’s having to be attended to on the field.

CHANCE! With perhaps the final opening of the game in a second half short on them, Zizo almost finds the leveller for Egypt. The substitute picks it up outside the box and shapes onto his left. The strike stays hit, but it can only cannon past the left‑hand upright – just lacking the curl needed to find the far corner.

Five minutes of added time is all that'll be played at the end of this one.

Abdelkarim swivels on the ball after Salah threads it through, but the substitute can’t keep his effort from distance on target. He did, though, find himself in a handy position to make something happen.
