Brazil Player Ratings vs. Venezuela: Neymar Shines, but Late Equalizer Leaves Brazil Frustrated

By  Milcah   Tanimu

In a fiercely contested 2026 World Cup qualifier, Brazil had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Venezuela, ending their 15-match home win streak. Neymar played a crucial role throughout the match, providing an assist and showcasing his influence. However, a stunning late bicycle kick by Venezuela’s Eduard Bello nullified Brazil’s efforts.

Player Ratings for Brazil:
– Ederson (Goalkeeper): 7/10 – Made an excellent save but couldn’t prevent the equalizer.
– Danilo: 4/10 – Removed due to injury.
– Marquinhos: 5/10 – A bit loose on the ball.
– Gabriel: 7/10 – Scored a beautiful header and performed well defensively.
– Guilherme Arana: 6/10 – Solid at left-back.
– Bruno Guimaraes (Midfield): 6/10 – Kept things tidy and broke up play.
– Casemiro: 6/10 – Had an effort well denied and moved the ball effectively.
– Neymar: 8/10 – Showcased attacking brilliance with skill and driving runs, assisted Gabriel’s goal.
– Rodrygo: 5/10 – Missed a big chance in the second half.
– Richarlison: 5/10 – Showed good off-ball work but lacked in final product.
– Vinicius Jr: 5/10 – Had some loose passing and made wrong decisions.

Substitutes and Manager:
– Yan Cuoto: 6/10 – Had a solid debut.
– Gabriel Jesus: 6/10 – Offered more in link-up play.
– Andre: 5/10 – Played aggressively and was fortunate not to be sent off.
– Gerson: N/A – Limited time to make an impact.
– Matheus Cunha: N/A – Limited time to make an impact.
– Fernando Diniz (Manager): 7/10 – Fielded a strong XI, but the team relied heavily on Neymar, and the miracle strike that equalized was out of their control.

Brazil’s inability to secure a win despite their dominance leaves them frustrated, but they remain a force to be reckoned with in South American football.
