The 4-2 defeat against Senegal, this Tuesday (20), not only sad, but also remarkable for the Brazilian team: Amarelinha hadn’t conceded four goals in the same match for almost ten years. The last time this happened is a terrible memory for fans, as it was the 7-1 victory over Germany in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup.
Since then, the team’s defense has never conceded so many goals in the same game. To give you an idea, Brazil have only conceded four goals on three occasions in the 21st century. In addition to this Tuesday’s 7-1, the other bad result came against Argentina, in 2012, in a 4-3 friendly loss.
In any case, the heavy defeat refers to other negative outcomes that the Selezione still experienced in the twentieth century. In 1997, in a friendly, Brazil still won 4-2, but against Norway, opponents who never managed to win. Eight years earlier, against Denmark, a 4-0 defeat went down in history as one of the most negative results for Canarinho.
The setback against Senegal was also the second for the main Brazilian team against an African nation. The first defeat dates back to six months ago, against Cameroon, at the World Cup.
