Brazil beats Egypt 2-1 in World Cup 2026 warm‑up in Cleveland

Brazil's national football team secured a 2‑1 victory over Egypt in a friendly match played in Cleveland, Ohio. Bruno Guimarães opened the scoring in the seventh minute after an Egyptian defensive mistake, and Egypt equalised ten minutes later through Mostafa Ziko following a mis‑control by Marquinhos. The winning goal came in the 52nd minute when teenage forward Endrick finished a pass from Raphinha.

The win completes Brazil's three‑game preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having previously defeated Croatia 3‑1 and Panama 6‑2. Brazil will open the tournament on June 13 against Morocco in New York, while Egypt’s first group match is scheduled for June 15 against Belgium in Seattle.
