Egypt was a strong team, one of the best African footballing nations, but Brazil was just on a whole other level.
They may not be performing up to standards in recent years, but statistically, they were the best footballing nation in the history of football.
On the pitch, that element became the deciding factor.
FWEEEE!
The final whistle sounded, bringing the game to an end.
1-3 to Brazil.
Egypt fought valiantly in the first half, but their quality of players simply couldn't match against the quality of Brazilian players spread across the pitch, leading to them suffering for large swathes of the first half.
Vinicius Jnr. got the first goal of the game in the 31st minute, a Raphinha pass setting him up to run behind the defense, then a shift and shuffle with the ball before cutting in and shooting into the bottom right corner of the net.
The first half came to an end 0-1 to Brazil.
