In Wednesday's South American region of the World Cup, the Brazilian team once again met its Waterloo, despite facing Uruguay at home, but only to shake hands with a score of 1-1, the second consecutive loss of points, so that the "Kingdom of Football" is no longer brilliant, the leader of the Dulivar Zulia's position is in jeopardy.
Looking back at last Friday's 1-1 draw with Venezuela, Brazil returned to their homeland today expecting to make a statement. However, against Uruguay, they were ahead for a while, but the deadlock was broken in the 55th minute by a long-distance shot from midfielder Federico Giovanni, and Uruguay scored first.
However, seven minutes later, Brazilian midfielder Santos Xiechen equalized and the two sides were locked in a tug-of-war. Although the Samba Army almost went back on top in the final moments, Rafinha Biloni's shot went just over the crossbar, ending the game 1-1.
In this year's World Cup, Brazil has won only 5 out of 12 matches, placing them fifth in the South American zone. Although there are still hopes of advancing, the seven-point difference with Argentina at the top of the table has put the team under pressure. Brazil's poor performance will make it difficult to achieve the desired results even in the 2026 World Cup. The future of leader Dulivar Zulia is in doubt. Rumor has it that the Brazilian FA may invite him to take charge again once Anzilotti bids an early farewell to Real Madrid next summer.
