A Green-and-Yellow Recital in Punta del Este: Brazil Closes the Final Score at 8-0 Against Chile
The last match of the day at the IFCPF Copa América was a lesson in rhythm, precision, and power. Brazil asserted their authority over Chile with an 8-0 victory, in a game where the green-and-yellow magic bloomed across the Punta del Este pitch.
Chile started with order and courage. During the first half, they displayed tactical discipline, a defence that intelligently resisted Brazil’s advances, and a goalkeeper who stood strong.
But Brazil, patient as those who know the pulse of the game, waited for the right moment. Two goals just before halftime sparked the fire; the rest was pure football samba.
In the second half, the Brazilian storm broke loose: rapid touches, surgical precision, and goals that looked like choreography.
Vinicius Ribeiro Araújo (#7), César Batista de Aguiar (#9), and Gilberto Manuel da Silva Junior (#14) each scored twice, while Evandro de Oliveira (#8) and Angelo dos Santos Mota (#11) completed the symphony.
Chile fought, pressed, and never gave up, but faced an inspired side — one of those teams that turns every move into a spectacle.
Brazil didn’t just win: they danced with the ball, honoured their history, and made clear their ambition in this Copa.
