Overview
- Brazil closed 2025 with a 1-1 friendly in Lille, where Tunisia went ahead through Hazem Mastouri before Estêvão equalized from the spot.
- Lucas Paquetá skied a second-half penalty won by Vitor Roque, missing the chance to turn the draw into a win.
- Carlo Ancelotti kept his 4-2-4 structure, while Gabriel Magalhães’ thigh injury moved Éder Militão to centre-back and handed Wesley a start at right-back.
- The display was judged below par, with limited creativity and exposure in transition highlighting unresolved issues at centre-forward and in the full-back roles.
- Estêvão finished the year as the Ancelotti-era top scorer with five goals, and Brazil next faces France and Croatia in March friendlies in the United States.
