The 5-time champions continued their pressing game and they were rewarded with a good finish from Andrey Santos.

Brazil was reduced to 10 men in the 45th minute when Robert was sent off for a dangerous play but they were able to return to the locker room with a comfortable lead.

Tunisia showed improvement in their performance in the second half, they had a goal chalked off by the Video Assistant Referee ( VAR) in the 78th minute.

Matheus Martin netted the 3rd goal in the 91st minute before Andrey completed his brace to make it 4-0 while Ghorbel reduced the deficit for Tunisia in 100 minutes as the game ended 4-1.
