Brazil qualifies for the 2026 World Cup.

Vinicius Junior scored the only goal to help Brazil defeat Paraguay 1-0 in the 16th matchday of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American region on the morning of June 11th.

Brazil has qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti fielded a star-studded lineup including Vinicius, Raphinha, Casemiro, Marquinhos, and Alisson against Paraguay at home in the Neo Quimica stadium. This numerical superiority allowed Brazil to completely dominate Paraguay, with a ball possession rate of up to 73% throughout the match. However, in reality, Brazil only created two truly dangerous scoring opportunities against the visitors.

One of those moments was Vinicius's goal in the 44th minute. The home team executed a very smooth build-up from their own half. Matheus Cunha, Manchester United's new signing, capitalized on a mistake by the Paraguayan defense to break free and then set up Vinicius, who finished from close range to score the only goal of the match.
