India 0-4 Brazil: How Did the Selecao Dominate So Completely in Kolkata?

Vinicius almost added another before the interval when his shot was saved, but Apuia reacted quickly to clear the loose ball before Danilo could convert.

Ancelotti makes changes at half-time

Carlo Ancelotti made five changes at the interval, with Lino, Vanderson, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Magalhaes and Douglas Luiz all introduced.

Lino needed only 12 minutes to make his mark. India surrendered possession in their own third and Pedro flicked the ball into the winger’s path. Lino drove inside before bending a right-footed finish into the bottom-right corner to make it 3-0.

India continued to look for a goal of their own and came close after 64 minutes when Williams saw a shot cleared off the line by Mauro Junior. Williams then fired narrowly wide three minutes later.

Brazil continued to create opportunities at the other end, with Endrick among those threatening after replacing Pedro.

The fourth eventually arrived in stoppage time and Lino produced the standout finish of the night to complete his brace.

Mauro Junior found him on the left before Lino cut inside, created space in the penalty area and powered his shot beyond Prabhsukhan Singh Gill.
