Brazil thrashes Bolivia 4-0 to set a new World Cup qualifying point record

Brazil entered Bolivia with a perfect record to defend. The Selecao left with their unbeaten record intact and a cherry on top.

Brazil's 45 points surpassed Argentina's 43 points from 2002 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.

Despite the scoreline, Bolivia couldn't capitalize on its best moments, and the hosts grew tired late in the game.

Gabriel Martinelli, a late substitute, nearly scored a Puskas Award contender but couldn't finish an otherwise incredible move.

Bolivia vs brazil final score

Bolivia fought hard, but missed chances and defensive lapses cannot happen against one of the world's best teams.

Richarlison scores twice and Bruno Guimaraes shines as Brazil wins its final World Cup road qualifier. Tite and co. face Argentina again before going to Qatar.

90+2 min: CHANCES! A tight angle shot from Gabriel Martinelli skitters along the end line. He deserves one, but it's not to be.

89th minute: GOAL! Richarlison completes the match, leaving Bolivia exhausted. Arthur's initial shot was saved by Cordano, but the tip falls to Richarlison at the back post, who scores with a sliding finish.
