The only change in Brazil's starting lineup compared to the match against Croatia was Neymar coming on from the start to replace Fernandinho. The best players of Austria such as Arnatovic, Alaba... continue to start.
Brazil took the initiative in terms of game situation but did not play too fast to ensure their physical strength for the big tournament ahead. Their first shot went to Casemiro. This midfielder fired a long shot that sent the ball wide of the post.
In theory, the home team plays with a 3-4-2-1 formation but changes to 5-4-1 when defending. Therefore, it also caused some difficulties for Selecao.
Arnautovic, Alaba are active up front. The Bayern Munich players' teammates could not take advantage of the early crosses he created. Along with that, Austria's shots in the first half did not bring them any hope of scoring.
In that context, Brazil was lucky to take the lead in the 36th minute. After Marcelo's long-range shot, the ball bounced over the fence to Gabriel Jesus on the left wing. With a few spins of effort, the young striker of Man City scored even though he was offside.
In the second half, Brazil proactively gave up possession to Austria in the first minutes. However, the away team will be ready to launch quality counter-attacks when the opponent advances.
The double came to Selecao in the 63rd minute. Receiving a pass from vian, Neymar had a series of classy handling moves before successfully launching a low shot.
Not long after, the Brazilian fans were celebrated again. After a combination with Firmino, Coutinho defeated goalkeeper Lindner in a one-on-one situation.
In the remaining time of the match, Ao tries to seek honor. However, the most significant move they created was herelander's long-range shot that Alisson flew to block.
Brazil kept the score at 3-0 until the referee blew the whistle to end the match. This is a favorable start for Coach Tite and his team before facing Switzerland (1:00 a.m. on June 19) in the opening match of Group E of the 2018 VCK World Cup.
