The 16th round of the World Cup South American qualifiers began, and Brazil, the world's fifth-ranked team, faced Paraguay at home. In the first half, Rafinia's long-range shot was confiscated, Cunia missed a good opportunity to head the ball, and Vinicius scored the first goal. In the second half, Rafinia's push shot was saved, and Martinez missed the opportunity. In the end, Brazil defeated Paraguay 1-0 and advanced to the World Cup. Real Madrid striker Vinicius, who is worth 170 million euros, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, and he scored the only goal.

Brazil has arranged a 4231 formation. Vinicius was at the forefront. The offensive combination of Rafinia, Cunia and Martinelli jointly attacked. Guimaraes and Casemiro form a double midfielder. Wandesson, Marginhos, Alessandro Ribero and Alles Sandro started with four defenders. Alisson serves as the starting goalkeeper. The total starting lineup of Brazil is as high as 562 million euros. Paraguay's starting lineup is only 82.25 million euros.

Shortly after the game started, Rafinia tried a long shot outside the penalty area, kicking too straight and having too weak strength, so the goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball. In the 28th minute, Juan Cáceres volleyed in the middle of the penalty area and missed. In the 36th minute, Cunya headed the ball from a close distance and actually missed the ball. Such a good opportunity wasted, it's a pity. In the 44th minute, Brazil finally scored a goal. Cunia made a cross pass near the baseline, and Vinicius shot in front of the goal! Later, Guimaraes received a yellow card for a foul. At the end of the half, Brazil led Paraguay 1-0. Brazil's possession rate in the first half was as high as 73%, with 6 shots, 2 shots on the right side and 1 goal. Paraguay had only two shots in the first half, but none of them were on the target.

The second half of the game changed sides and then fought again, Brazil still took the initiative on the field, but it was difficult to create a decent opportunity in the face of Paraguay's intensive defense. Paraguay took the lead in making substitution adjustments in the 61st minute. Damian Bovadiglia and Angel Romero came on as substitutes. Brazil did not start substitutions until the 74th minute, first Lucas Berardo came on as a substitute, and then Risarisson and Gerson were sent one after another. However, neither of the substitutions of both sides were able to bring another goal. In the end, Brazil defeated Paraguay 1-0.
