On Wednesday, 20th, Brazilian soccer was challenged once again in the South American peripheral matches, and despite a 1-1 draw with Uruguay in their home field, they failed to win for the second consecutive match. The Brazilian team, known as the "Kingdom of Soccer", seems to have lost its former dominance, and the position of the leader of the team, Dulivar Zulia, seems to be in jeopardy.
Back on Friday, Brazil drew 1-1 against Venezuela, and in their return home this time around, they were ahead for 55 minutes. However, Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverdi equalized with a clever cross from the edge of the box.
Just seven minutes later, Brazilian midfielder Shechen Sandoz took advantage of a corner kick to head in a goal, bringing the score to 1-1. Throughout the match, Brazil almost went back in front, but Rafinha Biloni's shot, though powerful, came up just short, and the two teams ended up shaking hands in a 1-1 draw.
In this year's World Cup qualifiers, Brazil slipped to fifth place in the South American zone with only five wins and three losses in 12 matches. Although the road to promotion seems to be smooth, but compared with the seven points ahead of Argentina, Brazil feels the pressure. Combined with the team's recent poor performances, the outlook is not promising even if they manage to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The future of leader Dulivar Zulia is in doubt, and there are even rumors that the Brazilian FA may invite him to take the helm again once Real Madrid coach Ancalotti leaves the team next summer.
