Brazil 3-0 Chile: Estevao nets overhead shot, Paqueta & Guimaraes score

Paqueta, Guimaraes, Estêvão on target in Brazil win

Match Report

Lucas Paquetá and Bruno Guimarães were on target as Brazil clinched a 3-0 win over Chile in Rio de Janeiro.

The hosts dominated possession against the bottom team in South American World Cup qualifying, but had to wait until the final 20 minutes before wrapping up victory.

The win lifts Brazil into second place in qualifying with just Wednesday's trip to Bolivia remaining.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro thought he had headed Brazil in front after just five minutes, only for an offside flag to cut short celebrations.

They continued to press, but had to wait until the 38th minute to take the lead with an acrobatic effort from Chelsea's Estêvão after Raphina's original effort was blocked.

Chilean defender Guillermo Maripán was shown a red card before the break for a reckless challenge, but it was downgraded to a yellow after a VAR review.

West Ham midfielder Paqueta, who on Wednesday learned the Football Association would not be appealing an independent commission's decision to clear him of four charges of spot-fixing, came on as a substitute after 71 minutes and doubled the advantage within a minute.

A counter attack ended with Luiz Henrique crossing for Paqueta to head home, Newcastle's Guimaraes rolling the ball into an empty net four minutes later after Henrique's effort had been turned onto the bar.
