Brazil plays poorly, loses again, and complicates its situation in the qualifiers

After another poor performance well below expectations, Brazil lost 1-0 to Paraguay away from home—the goal was scored by Diego Gómez in the 20th minute of the first half. With this result, the team led by Dorival Júnior remains at 10 points and languishes in fifth place. Access premium football results at live scores app.

With a team lacking creativity and poorly spaced on the field, the Brazilian squad struggled against the Paraguayans, who hadn’t beaten the Brazilians in regular time since 2008. The hosts’ strategy was simple: defend and avoid pressure from the opponents. It worked. After finding the goal due to a coverage mistake by Bruno Guimarães, the team managed by Gustavo Alfaro barely suffered during the 90 minutes.

As a result, Brazil dropped to fifth place in the qualifiers and is only one point away from seventh place— the top six teams qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup. The campaign so far is concerning: three wins, one draw, four losses, and only 10 points.

This is already the worst first half of the season for the Brazilian national team since the competition adopted a points-based format in 1998 (Brazil began participating in 2002). Until now, the worst performance after nine rounds occurred during the 2010 qualifiers, when they had 13 points but with only one loss.

The team’s next fixtures are in October against Chile, away, and Peru, at Mané Garrincha, marking the start of the second half of the tournament. Stay ahead with BB Score.
