Neymar fades, Brazil helpless against England's young players

In a day of underperformance, Neymar and his teammates were unable to defeat the home team England, which included many young players.

Fielding a very strong lineup, including the return of midfielder Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian players showed their determination to win. Meanwhile, the host England used many young and inexperienced players, with half of them having less than 10 appearances for the national team.

Despite being inferior in international experience, the youth and determination of the England players pushed the match speed up very high right after the opening whistle. In the 4th minute, Brazil had the first chance but Dani Alves' shot from outside the box was inaccurate. In the 12th minute, Jesus headed the ball from Alves' precise cross, but goalkeeper Joe Hart promptly dived to block.

The Brazilian players all played poorly in this match.

In the 18th minute, England had the first answer, when Rashford dribbled from the left wing before penetrating the Brazilian midfield and unleashing a powerful shot from 20 meters away but was blocked by Alisson.

England suffered an early setback when Roftus-Cheek left the pitch midway through the first half.

In the following minutes of the first half, the England team actively played solidly on their home field, prioritizing defense. This made it very difficult for the Brazilian away players to approach goalkeeper Hart's goal.

Stones commanded the England defense very well in this match.

Joe Hart also had an excellent performance.

The scenario in the second half did not change much, the young defense of the England team still did a very good job of defending, neutralizing all of Brazil's attacks, including the situation where Jesus had a chance but Hart excellently punched the ball right over the head of the Man City striker in the 63rd minute.

Rashford was active in attack, but could not score.

When England's defense was defeated, luck did not smile on Brazil, when it was the post's turn to save the home team. In the 76th minute, due to a mistake by the home team's midfield, Fernandinho stole the ball and accelerated before finishing from a distance of more than 20m, the ball hit the outside edge of the post and went out of bounds.

It was also a remarkable situation in the rest of the match and both teams accepted to leave the field without any goals scored. Manager Gareth Southgate had the second consecutive draw with his young players.
