00:02Bremer just blocks Dewey off. Poor ball in, and then he skips past them.
00:08If he doesn't get him with his leg, he's getting him with his arm.
00:11Bremer, he will not pass. Desiree Dewey.
00:17A professional foul from the Juventus now.
00:20Yeah, considering it's a friendly game, there's been some tackles, haven't there?
00:24Red cards, yellow cards.
00:28Good to see a wry smile on the face of Didier Deschamps.
00:36His 176th game as the France national team coach.
00:45He will be passing his tactics brought over to a legend Zinedine Zidane in the summer.
00:58He's had all the great jobs in football, hasn't he? Carlo Ancelotti winning the league in all five of the
01:04top European divisions.
01:07Champions League success on five occasions.
01:11He has been involved in their national team football before, as the assistant to Rodrigo Saatchi back at the World
01:17Cup in 1994.
01:18Of course, in the United States.
01:23He's got a very tough job on here to make something out of this assortment of Brazilian players. Make a
01:32team out of them.
01:38For Vinicius Junior.
01:40To Douglas Santos.
01:42So a little bit one dimensional from Brazil. Give it to Vinny and hope for the best.
01:47Yeah, it's hard for Vinny because, as I said, Uncle Elisa is putting in a shift and a half.
01:52He does try and help Mal-Augusto out as much as he can.
01:59Referee.
02:00Offering some protection to Vinicius Junior.
02:02And a free kick and another test of the French defence.
02:06Too acute an angle to go direct for goal, especially at this level of football.
02:11Yeah, he just attacks Augusto this time. Gets his pass away.
02:14I mean, it wasn't really a foul, was it?
02:25Vinny is desperate to keep a clean sheet.
02:28He has these defenders almost stepping on his toes there defending so deeply.
02:32The goalkeeper surprisingly let it go.
02:35And he needs a touch and he gets a touch.
02:37And Brazil are back in it.
02:41Bremer.
02:43Yeah, it was a scuffy goal but actually it was a really nice cross in for the, from the free
02:47kick.
02:48Give the Brazilian fans something to cheer about.
02:52Well his first goal for his country, for Bremer.
02:56He'll take them from anywhere.
02:58They're famed for scoring imaginative goals.
03:02Well that was a bread and butter goal.
03:03From the Juventus van.
03:06And a tenth 12 minutes now.
03:08Yeah, more importantly they're back in the game.
03:09Nice cross in.
03:11To the far post.
03:13Gets recycled back by Casemiro.
03:16He's well on side, Bremer.
03:19It's just whether the ball to Casemiro was out of the far post but...
03:23Suggest that it was still in.
03:25Enrique's in.
03:26And Bremer's there.
03:27The scuffy path.
03:28Getting his big right foot onto that one.
03:32They all count.
03:37The one he's never going to forget.
03:39His first goal for his country.
03:56Antonio Hernandez is down.
03:58It's a sore one.
04:01I don't know what happens in that melee.
04:08He has to go off.
04:09His brother Lucas is on the bench tonight.
04:14Deshaunty's looking like...
04:15How do I do...
04:18...break the news to his club manager that he's picked up a...
04:21...a knock on international duty.
04:24I don't know where he's on the pitch there.
04:27But he's not on the...
04:29...penalty area is he son?
04:33You heartless smacker.
04:34I don't know. I don't know where he fell...
04:36I don't know where he's fallen over.
04:41I'd like to see...
04:42I'd like to see where he gets injured again.
04:44Well here we go.
04:45That's what I mean.
04:46He...
04:49That's why I said he wasn't on the pitch.
04:51Oh, that was a naughty challenge actually.
04:54We didn't see that.
04:57Oof.
04:59That's a terrible challenge in a game like this.
05:01The referee certainly saw it.
05:07Apology, not accepted.
05:08Ibanez was...
05:09He was...
05:10...way leg there though, Rob.
05:15As you say, there is a code of professional code in games like this.
05:19That you...
05:19You don't want to go out to injure an opponent than do you don't...
05:23You don't have challenges like that in a game like this.
05:30He won't be getting his shirt at the end of the game.
05:45Oh, France.
05:47Nine minutes to hang on to a one goal lead.
05:50But you get the impression they could just...
05:52...turn it on if they really wanted to.
06:06Two sets of players who...
06:08...set themselves to the highest standard.
06:10But subconsciously they will be holding something back as they...
06:13...go into the crucial final weeks of their club season.
06:17There is Vinicius Junior.
06:19Two to tango it.
06:22Looking for JoĆ£o Pedro, but JoĆ£o Pedro's legs just went to...
06:25...to jelly.
06:28Yeah, Canate just gives him a little tiny push, doesn't he?
06:51Well, Brazil have won the last two match-ups between these...
06:54...two countries.
06:57Last time in...
06:59...2015.
07:00They'd settle for a draw tonight if they could pull it off, finish this Junior.
07:03Gets a corner out of Canate.
07:05And look at it.
07:06That's what he does at Real Madrid.
07:07He's doing it to the Brazilian.
07:08The adopted Brazilian supporters here in Boston.
07:11Cheerleading them.
07:12Getting a little bit more space down this left-hand side now.
07:17There's a sly look at the stadium clock...
07:20...to Ram in a...
07:21...rather heated conversation with goalkeeper...
07:25...Magnon.
07:35Spun away from the keeper, but an easy save takes it out of the...
07:39...evening outs.
07:40Casemiro again who's...
07:42...maybe being the most impressive, certainly the most active player for Brazil.
07:45Yeah, very much so.
07:47Still vitally important for the Brazilian national team, isn't he?
07:50Carlo Ancelotti knows him very, very well through his time at Real Madrid.
07:53Really trusts him.
07:55And rightly so.
07:56They need a bit of experience in there.
07:58And he's the main man, isn't he?
08:07And now Pedro draws.
08:09Canate, who stands his ground.
08:11Referee.
08:12Another big lean, isn't he?
08:14He does that all the time.
08:15Canate leans on people.
08:17Sometimes he gets away with it, sometimes he doesn't.
08:19But you see him here.
08:21Just that big left arm comes right across.
08:26When he hits you, you know about it.
08:28Oof.
08:30One of the last...
08:34...kickings of Casemiro as he...
08:37...leaves the field.
08:38Well, he's a definite for the World Cup finals.
08:41Oh, yes.
08:41Casemiro put in a proper captain's performance.
08:44Acknowledged by Ancelotti, an opportunity for Gabriel Sara.
08:50One of the players called up for the first time.
08:54He's had a couple of good seasons at Galatasaray in Turkey.
08:57How can they form a Norwich City man?
09:00Step up a standard.
09:02Yeah, this is Carlo Ancelotti trying to...
09:05...have a look at as many players as possible.
09:08There was a few...
09:10...debutants in the sides, wasn't he?
09:11He wants to have a look at...
09:12...what they're like in the dressing room, what they're like in the hotel.
09:15Of course, what they're like on the pitch, but...
09:17...what type of characters they are.
09:20Billy Juni has taken over the captain's armband from Casemiro.
09:28Sara to...
09:30...Degolas Santos.
09:34A reminder...
09:36...that we're back here at the weekend.
09:38There's Boston Legacy.
09:40Are hosting Utah Royals in the NWSL.
09:4412 o'clock Eastern Time.
09:46On ESPN2 or ESPN Plus.
09:50Join Jen Hildreth and Jan Sanderson for that one.
10:00No support is staying till the end.
10:04That'll be a rare opportunity for many of these...
10:07...football fans to see with their own eyes.
10:08The likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
10:12Chirmeni.
10:13Cameo performance from Rafinha, taken off at half-time.
10:22Cross clearance.
10:26Lisset.
10:28Understand the react in the moment.
10:29France playing within themselves.
10:32Yeah, I just think it's important now to see the game out for France.
10:36Under a little bit of pressure numerically, of course.
10:38Now Brazil have got the goal.
10:40At trying to push to try and get the equaliser.
10:43So France just want to win the game.
10:45I know it's only a friendly.
10:47Lots of substitutions, but still, you might as well win the game.
10:57Sarah to Douglas Santos.
11:01Pereira.
11:03To Brema.
11:12Vinicius Junior.
11:15Now he's Kevin Mauter to defend, it looks like he ran out of space.
11:27The player's still got to sod out his long-term future at Real Madrid.
11:31That man got the best out of him at club level.
11:34Yeah, he did.
11:35Didn't exactly see eye-to-eye with his successor Xabi Alonso, did he?
11:38Nope.
11:41I would imagine that Didier Deschamps will be in much demand
11:45when he becomes available for hire in the summer.
11:48That'll be interesting, won't it?
11:50Where he's going to turn up.
11:51Because his record for France has been exceptional.
11:55So you're expecting to be offered really good jobs.
11:58I don't know whether...
12:00He speaks Spanish.
12:02He'd certainly speak English for his time at Chelsea, you would think, wouldn't you?
12:07Absolutely.
12:07I don't know whether he speaks Spanish.
12:09Played for Valencia didn't he for a while.
12:11Yeah, he did, yeah.
12:16Be interesting to see.
12:17He'll definitely have opportunities.
12:19He got Juventus promoted.
12:21He got Monaco to a Champions League final as a fine club CV.
12:31He'll definitely get plenty of opportunities.
12:36Certainly in the Premier League, they change managers like the rain.
12:41So there'll be definitely opportunities there.
12:44La Liga, I don't know really.
12:47But I presume Real Madrid will be looking for the coach come the summer.
13:01Stowe to...
13:02Turan.
13:03A big number of players like Turan that would...
13:04really like to impress the manager.
13:06Yeah.
13:06They understand that they've got to keep it disciplined.
13:09Hang on to the one goal lead with, what, 90 seconds of regulation time remaining.
13:22Keep ball from the ten men of France.
13:25Surely Brazil have got to go chasing it, need some hunger.
13:29Some work ethic.
13:34Time to get in that from Gusto.
13:39You're right though, Rob.
13:41Brazil have kept the ball quite comfortably, haven't they, at the last minute or so?
13:45Goal of Cantic, goalkeeper lock, comes a long way in a determined dive from Edison.
13:51And a very quiet second half.
13:55That was Malagusto, that was the right back.
13:57He was Gusto, yeah.
13:58In that centre-forward spot.
14:00Now Alise's going to have to cover for him to mark Vinnie Jr.
14:05Couldn't they maybe be concerned with his position at right back?
14:09Because Malagusto's had a great game.
14:13Yeah, he did well actually, Vinnie Jr did really well.
14:18Corner, last minute of the game.
14:19Build pressure, see if he can get the equaliser.
14:21Of course there's going to be plenty of minutes, injury time, the amount of substitutions we've had.
14:28Gabriel Sara hangs it in the air, another test of the France defence.
14:33They fell the last one when Bremer scored.
14:42They've still got plenty of players forward here as well.
14:46Too much put on that, or was it a flamboyant attempt to the finish?
14:51Should have done better actually, Bremer.
14:53He's the centre half, got the one goal.
14:56It's one of those you keep having to check.
14:57What are you doing up there?
14:59Yeah, it's a lovely ball in by Enrique again.
15:00The left peg.
15:01That left foot of his, nice outswinger.
15:04This will be a better angle actually to see Bremer's volley.
15:08Ooh, yeah, he has a good sighted off it.
15:09Just comes off it at the end.
15:11Slices it slightly.
15:13But he should have done better.
15:15He would have given his mark of the slip as well, hadn't he?
15:17There.
15:21Forgive him because he's a centre defender.
15:25He's done well though.
15:27Since he come on at half-time, Enrique.
15:29The 20.
15:30Worked well off the right, worked well off the left.
15:32As we see the last of Elisa.
15:34What do you say?
15:46Coloulou's on.
15:47Coloulou making more subs.
15:51Gusteau is off.
15:53Pierre Coloulou will take his place in defence.
15:56A minimum of about seven minutes added on by the referee.
16:04Exactly, Ush has come on for Elisa.
16:09Another youngster.
16:11Abundance of talent again.
16:14They just have a flow of players coming through, don't they?
16:19Yeah, they do.
16:20They've almost changed the team, France.
16:23Tell me about it.
16:24I know.
16:29I'm sure they'll mix things up as well for the game we bring you on Sunday against Colombia.
16:45They want to be one final charge from Brazil.
16:49That's what?
16:50Misses out but then the wrong pass at the wrong time and nowhere close to freeing Vinicius Junior.
16:56Yeah.
16:58Yeah, he was unlucky, Henrique.
16:59He's done really well, as I mentioned before.
17:03Here's the goal, the Mbappe goal.
17:06Look at the after purpose.
17:08But Emma's no chance of catching him when she's away like that.
17:13One touch, one thing on his mind.
17:15I'm flipping it over the goalie.
17:22Offside.
17:32They keep up this very impressive run eight games since defeat against Spain in the semi-finals of the Nations
17:41League.
17:42Maybe seven wins out of eight.
17:44Meanwhile, contrasting for Carlo Ancelotti going to be the third loss in six matches.
17:56Mal we're just going to be the third.
18:01Yeah.
18:12It's good to explain how he scored that goal.
18:18Good news for Madrid, excellent news for France as well.
18:22Bad news for the top European teams.
18:28The referee's showing yellow car.
18:29Yeah, the car for the sub.
18:30Yeah, time-wasting.
18:32Time-wasting Agliouche.
18:35Then he finishes off with that.
18:45As you say, he's got a great young talent stepping up a standard.
18:50Playing with the big boys.
19:01And Los Santos with a 1-2 with Vinicius Junior.
19:04Agliouche almost thought about bringing him down then.
19:06It could have been two quick-fire yellow cars.
19:08He doesn't have a DAT challenge either, does he?
19:16Vinicius Junior drifting inside to see the supporters
19:22staying right to the end.
19:24Of course, most of them are Brazilian.
19:27Fans, hoping their heroes can find the equalising goal against the ten men of France.
19:39No foul, the referee says continue against the nine men of France at the moment.
19:47Vinicius again.
19:48Fans get on the edge of the seats.
19:51France rocking back.
19:53Job well done and again, they'll just play down the clock if they can.
19:59They need to get the ball in the area, that's where they need to get the ball.
20:04It's all a bit slow.
20:06France have got everybody back.
20:08They need to turn them round slightly.
20:22The ball is laid in again, good defending.
20:24Canati hoisted away.
20:29Canati hoisted.
20:31Canati hoisted, to really show a bit more urgency, determination, and drive here.
20:35The game is slipping away from them...
20:38Experienced French players have it under control.
20:47Douglas Santos.
20:50And there is no introduction.
20:52Vinny Junior puts it inside.
20:55Shoot is the demand.
20:56They play it through.
20:57Oh, and Vinny Junior had a glorious opportunity to equalise in a minute 97.
21:03What a ball by Bremer.
21:04I don't know whether it comes off the post this.
21:06It was that quick.
21:07But it was a fantastic ball off Bremer.
21:11Oh, no, he just completely mishits him.
21:14Goes with his wrong foot, goes with his right foot instead of sticking it with his left.
21:18Vinny Junior, it's a great opportunity, last kick of the game virtually.
21:22Why doesn't he go with his left foot, Rob?
21:24Open his left foot up, just let it bounce off his left foot.
21:28Decide to flip it as if he's been a bit too smart.
21:32It's beyond the reach of Thiago, but certainly within the periphery of Vinicius Junior
21:36to equalise.
21:37If there's one player that Brazil had on the field that they want to fall to the boot of,
21:42it will be the golden boots of Vinicius Junior.
21:45Yeah, I felt he went with the wrong foot.
21:54going to be teased by Kylian MbappƩ, but he's scored and Vinicius hasn't.
22:02He's played beyond the minimum of seven minutes.
22:05He said he would add to the game.
22:09France just played down the clock, maybe they've still got a goal in.
22:13Aklush.
22:17Yeah, just keep it down the end of the pitch now.
22:21Or not.
22:23Oh, he's nearly tripped him up again.
22:24Aklush would have been off.
22:25I know, but that is a textbook tackle from Angola Kante.
22:30Vinicius Junior keeps momentum flowing.
22:34But France regroup, and surely they've seen it out now.
22:42Carlo Ancelotti does not have a lot of time on his hands.
22:45Croatia and Panama coming up, but they have been outclassed tonight.
22:50Hugs and handshakes, they've done it the hard way.
22:52France under the expert leadership of Didier Duchamp.
22:56Steve, in a nutshell, fully deserved?
22:59Yeah, it was an unusual game, wasn't it, with the sending off.
23:01But yeah, I think they've got more class, haven't they, France?
23:03Even though Brazil could have equalised late on.
23:07Well, thanks to Steve McManaman, the game that holds all the agreements.
23:10Great goal from MbappƩ, red card to KTK.
23:13Bremer scoring 2-1 to France.
