Tite went for Pedro and Everton ahead of Vinicius

Brazil beat Venezuela by one goal on matchday three in a 2022 World Cup qualifier. Firmino scored the winning goal in the 67th minute and Vinicius did not get to play a single minute.

The Real Madrid player had to watch his team win from the bench because Tite decided to give all his strikers minutes apart from the Real Madrid man. 

The winger, who was one of the new faces in the Brazilian squad, was the only striker Tite did not bring on in the second half.

Brazil began the match with Gabriel Jesus, Richarlison and Firmino and Pedro and Everton came on in the second half.

Vinicius has one last chance to play during the international break for Brazil which is away to Uruguay on 18th November before he returns to Real Madrid.
