Brazil national team and Gabriel (Arsenal)
November 2025

Brazil produced a fast, ruthless first half to beat Senegal 2-0, with Estevao (Chelsea) curling in the opener and Casemiro (Brazil) adding a controlled finish from a training ground routine. The win snapped Senegal’s long unbeaten run and showcased Brazil’s attacking depth. Edouard Mendy faced constant pressure as Matheus Cunha hit woodwork twice before the goals, while Senegal forced good stops from Ederson and missed a big Iliman Ndiaye chance. The night soured when Gabriel limped off with an adductor issue, prompting Carlo Ancelotti’s public apology and leaving Arsenal worried.
