A goal from Dudu helped Brazil to a friendly win over Colombia as the nations raised money for Chapecoense.

Brazil recorded a 1-0 win over Colombia in a friendly played to raise money for tragedy-hit Chapecoense on Wednesday. A second-half header from Dudu was enough to seal victory for the hosts at the Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro.

With the game falling outside the FIFA international match calendar, both teams were made up of almost entirely domestic-based players. Both struggled to create clear-cut chances as Tite's Brazil – flying high in World Cup qualifying – made it seven straight wins.
