Vini Jr, Rafinya - Brazil pre-match shots vs France in Friendly

France forward Kylian Mbappé showed no ill effects of his left knee injury on Thursday when he broke free for a goal to give France an early lead on its way to a 2-1 victory over Brazil in a World Cup tuneup between two of the world’s top teams. With a crowd of 66,215 heavily favoring Brazil, Mbappé and Hugo Ekitike gave France a 2-0 lead on the same pitch where they will play their final group stage game of this summer's World Cup, against Norway and Erling Haaland. Bremer cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 78th minute. The crowd was the second-largest to watch a soccer match at Gillette Stadium, behind only a 2007 friendly between Brazil and Mexico. It was speckled with fans in Brazilian yellow kits, with just a few French flags waving to celebrate Mbappé's goal. France's Dayot Upamecano was sent off in the 55th minute for taking down a player with a clear path to the goal - a card that was upgraded from yellow to red on video review. Brazil was able to take advantage of the man-advantage in the 78th minute to cut their deficit to 2-1 when Bremer redirected a cross from Luiz Henrique past France keeper Mike Maignan. However, that would be all the scoring as they could not find an equalizer over the remaining time. The Seleção have one more friendly in this window, facing Croatia in Orlando on 31 March
