Samuel Lino scores twice as Brazil beat India 4-0 without Raphinha

Brazil ended their international break with a 4-0 friendly victory over India, with Samuel Lino scoring twice after Raphinha left the squad because of injury.

Estevao and Pedro were also on target as Brazil completed their preparations under manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Raphinha missed the match after suffering an injury against Australia. He subsequently departed the Brazil camp and returned to Barcelona.

Brazil took the lead in the 28th minute when Estevao struck a powerful effort from outside the penalty area that flew into the India goal.

Pedro doubled the advantage shortly before half-time, sending another fierce shot into the net after being set up by Estevao.

Samuel Lino added Brazil’s third goal in the 58th minute with a precise finish, further confirming the South American side’s control of the match.

He completed the scoring in the fifth minute of added time, finding the net from inside the penalty area to claim his second goal of the game.

Brazil have now concluded their fixtures during the current international break with two wins against Australia and India, as well as a draw with Australia.
