Brazil defeated Egypt 2-1 in a World Cup warm-up match in Cleveland. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said he now knows his starting lineup for the tournament opener against Morocco.
Brazil secured a 2-1 victory over Egypt at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on June 7. Bruno Guimarães opened the scoring in the seventh minute before Mostafa Ziko equalized. Endrick came off the bench to score the winner in the 51st minute. Ancelotti praised the performance and highlighted the integration of young talent with experienced players. He stated that he has a clear idea of his starting XI for the match against Morocco. The manager also noted a lapse in concentration that led to the equalizer. Roma right back Wesley suffered a serious muscle injury and left the field in tears. The injury could sideline him for the World Cup, though teams may make changes up to one day before their first game. Brazil's Group F campaign begins with matches against Morocco on June 13, Scotland on June 18, and Haiti on June 23.
