Part 2/8:
The draw against Venezuela is particularly troubling when looking at the statistics. Venezuela has not won in over a hundred games in World Cup qualifiers, making Brazil's failure to secure three points disturbing. They currently sit at the bottom of the standings, just above Bolivia and tied on points with Peru and Chile. Notably, Brazil was expected to dominate, especially considering the high-profile players they possess, including Vinícius Júnior, who had moments of promise during the match but failed to convert significant opportunities.
