India Vs Brazil LIVE Score, International Friendly: Vinicius Pose Continuous Threat

Vinicius spells trouble down the left flank once more, turning Tekcham Abhishek Singh before driving menacingly down the byline to win a corner for Brazil. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu does well to rush out and smother the dangerous pull-back, and from the subsequent short corner, Williams proves his worth again by tracking back to make a vital interception and snuff out the threat.

The relentless Vinicius makes his presence felt once more, driving dangerously in from the left flank before testing Gurpreet Singh Sandhu with a sharp effort that forces the Indian keeper into a smart stop at his near post. From the resulting corner, Brazil threaten again as Marquinhos finds himself unmarked, but the defender can only glance his free header tamely across the face of goal, letting the Blue Tigers off the hook as the pressure mounts in Kolkata.
