Brazil already clinched a spot in the knockout stage prior to kickoff against Cameroon on Friday and that was a good thing as Seleção fell to the African nation.
Tite’s starting XI illustrated just that with a nearly completely rotated starting XI from Seleção’s last game against Switzerland. Eder Militao and Fred were the only two players from the 1-0 win over the Swiss to receive another start.
With the rotation, the likes of Ederson, Dani Alves, Antony, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus got their first starts of the World Cup.
The game got off to a sloppy start with Brazil making numerous errors in the first 10 minutes of the match.
