LONDON – First-half goals from Estevao and Casemiro secured a 2-0 victory for Brazil over Senegal in a fiery friendly at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium which produced coach Carlo Ancelotti’s fourth victory in seven matches.

Brazil’s Matheus Cunha hit the posts twice in the opening stages of  match which saw Ancelotti experimenting with a four-man attack featuring Vinicius Jr playing as a striker supported by Estevao and Rodrygo and Cunha as playmaker.

At the back, Ancelotti made a defensive shake-up, starting centreback Eder Militao as a rightback in the continuing search for reliable fullbacks.

On Friday World Cup holders Argentina beat Angola 2-0 in a friendly in Luanda. Lionel Messi scored one goal and laid on another for Lautaro Martinez.
