Brazil 3-0 Chile Player Ratings: Bruno Guimarães 9/10 Rated as Dominant Selecao Cruise to a 3-0 Victory

Brazil showed their quality at the iconic Maracanã Stadium, against Chile in a crucial WC Qualifiers CONMEBOL on September 5, 2025. The match saw both teams sharing almost an equal amount of possession till the 15th minute. Before Brazil stepped up to an attacking mode, but couldn't break the stubborn Chilean defense. It was Estevao in the 38th minute who gave the home side the lead by scoring a stunning bicycle kick on the goal line. Brazil almost doubled the lead within a few minutes, but the Arsenal winger Martinelli missed the chance. Selecao were in total control of the game, with the visitors rarely getting any chance to go further.

Barrage of shots continued in the second half, as Selecao looked determined to score a few more, but failed to capitalize as Martinelli flukked once again. Chile saw a brief period of possession, which frustrated the home fans. Super sub Lucas Paqueta doubled the lead with an instant impact after being introduced on the field. The pacey Brazilian winger Luiz Henrique lifted a cross to the far post for Paqueta to head home. And within a space of 5 minutes, Selecao scored their third goal of the night, and this time it's Bruno Guimaraes. Henrique linked up brilliantly with Bruno with one-two before smashing the ball into the underside of the crossbar, but the Newcastle midfielder was at the right place and tapped in a simple goal from six yards. The Brazilian football players put on a dominant display of football. Here are the Brazil vs Chile player ratings.

Brazil Player Ratings vs Chile

Here are the Brazil player ratings.

Goalkeeper

Alisson - 6.5: Essentially a spectator for most of the game. He had so little to do that he could have pulled up a chair. His distribution was, as always, crisp and accurate, with a 95% pass completion rate. We noticed he was always alert, but Chile simply never tested him. An easy clean sheet.

Defenders

Wesley - 7.5: A very impressive performance on the right flank. He was a bundle of energy, constantly bombing forward to support the attack while remaining diligent in his defensive duties. He won six of his nine duels and even managed a couple of key passes. A really promising outing.

Gabriel Magalhães - 7.0: A rock at the back. He was physically dominant, winning his aerial battles and making crucial clearances. His header in the opening minutes nearly gave Brazil the lead. A bit aggressive with three fouls, but it showed his commitment. He was a wall.

Marquinhos - 7.0: The captain led by example with a calm and composed performance. His passing was almost flawless at 99% accuracy, dictating play from deep. He organized the backline effectively, ensuring Chile's attackers had no space to operate. A true leader's display.

Douglas Santos - 7.0: A very solid and reliable showing from the left-back. He was defensively sound, making two interceptions and winning his tackles cleanly. He also offered an outlet in attack, creating a big chance. From our perspective, he perfectly balanced his offensive and defensive responsibilities.

Midfielders

Casemiro - 7.0: The usual commanding presence in the middle of the park before his substitution. He broke up play effectively and distributed the ball with purpose. The yellow card he picked up was perhaps a bit harsh. He set the tone for Brazil's midfield dominance.

Bruno Guimarães - 9.0: An absolutely masterful performance. He was the undisputed Man of the Match and the highest rated player. He was everywhere, dictating the tempo, creating an incredible five key passes, and capping it all off with a goal. His vision and technical quality were on a different level tonight.

Raphinha - 7.5: A constant thorn in Chile's side. His direct running and dribbling caused all sorts of problems. He created three key passes and was unlucky not to get an assist or a goal. His work rate was phenomenal, though his final product was sometimes lacking. A livewire.

Estêvão - 8.0: What a talent. The youngster showed immense composure to score the vital opening goal. He was fearless, taking on defenders and getting shots away. To score on such a big stage showed a maturity beyond his years. We were very impressed.

Gabriel Martinelli - 7.0: He worked tirelessly on the left wing, making incisive runs and linking up play. He had a couple of good shots on target and was a willing runner all night. A solid, if unspectacular, performance in a team full of stars.

Forwards

João Pedro - 6.0: It just wasn't his night. He battled hard and won a surprising number of aerial duels, but he struggled to get involved in the game. He lost possession far too often and couldn't provide the cutting edge Brazil needed from their number nine. A frustrating evening for him.

Substitutes

Andrey Santos - 6.5: Slotted in seamlessly for Casemiro and kept the midfield ticking over. He nearly scored with a header, showing his threat in the box.

Lucas Paquetá - 8.0: An incredible impact. He came on and scored with a header almost immediately, killing any hope Chile might have had. His energy and creativity were a welcome addition.

Kaio Jorge - 6.0: Came on for a tired João Pedro but didn't offer a significant upgrade. Had one shot from distance that went wide.

Richarlison - N/A: Didn't have enough time to make a meaningful impact on the match.

Luiz Henrique - N/A: Brought on late with the game already won.

Manager

Carlo Ancelotti - 8.0: He got his tactics spot on. Brazil were organized, dominant, and clinical when it mattered. His substitutions were inspired, particularly the introduction of Lucas Paquetá, who immediately scored. A flawless game plan executed to perfection.

Chile Player Ratings vs Brazil

Here are the Chile player ratings

Goalkeeper

Lawrence Vigouroux - 6.0: He can't be faulted for the goals, really. He made a spectacular save early in the game to deny Gabriel Magalhães and made a few other stops. However, his distribution was woeful, completing less than half his passes. A tough night at the office.

Defenders

Guillermo Maripán - 4.5: A disastrous performance. He was defensively all over the place and was incredibly lucky to have his red card overturned by VAR. He looked overwhelmed by the pace and movement of Brazil's attackers and was a clear weak link. A night he'll want to forget.

Paulo Díaz - 5.0: He made a high number of interceptions, but that was because Brazil was constantly attacking his area. He was caught out of position several times and made a crucial error that led to a shot. He struggled to contain the opposition.

Iván Román - 5.0: The young defender had a torrid time. He was dribbled past on three separate occasions and looked out of his depth against world-class opposition. He made a few clearances but was part of a defensive unit that was completely dismantled.

Midfielders

Fabián Hormazábal - 5.5: He put in a shift but spent most of the match chasing shadows. He was pinned back in his own half and couldn't provide any support to the attack. A thankless task against a superior midfield.

Vicente Tomás Pizarro Durcudoy - 6.0: One of the few Chilean players to emerge with any credit. He tried to get on the ball and make things happen, even creating two chances. However, he was fighting a losing battle in a midfield that was completely overrun.

Felipe Loyola - 5.5: He battled hard in the middle, winning most of his duels. But he couldn't get a foothold in the game and offered little in possession before being substituted. A frustrating evening for him.

Gabriel Suazo - 5.0: The captain fought valiantly, winning eight duels, but it wasn't enough. He was often bypassed too easily and his use of the ball was poor, losing it ten times. He couldn't inspire his team to a better performance.

Forwards

Alexander Aravena - 5.0: He was completely anonymous. With only 19 touches in 78 minutes, he was a passenger in the game. He offered no threat and his team needed much more from him.

Lucas Cepeda - 5.5: At least he tried to make something happen. He had three shots, although all were off target. He was very wasteful in possession, losing the ball 14 times. A frustrating mix of effort and inefficiency.

Ben Brereton Díaz - 5.0: The worst performer of the night for us. He was completely isolated and starved of service. Caught offside twice and dispossessed too easily, he looked a shadow of the player we know he can be. A really disappointing outing for him.

Substitutes

Gonzalo Tapia - N/A: Brought on but couldn't get into the rhythm of the game.

Rodrigo Echeverría - N/A: Had little time to change the course of the match.

Lucas Assadi - N/A: A late substitute with the game already lost.

Ian Garguez - N/A: Came on for the final few minutes.

Manager

Sergio Rodolfo Santín Spinelli - 4.0: His team looked tactically naive and outclassed. The defensive setup was porous, and they offered next to nothing going forward. His side showed no real fight or plan to get back into the game after going behind. A very poor showing.
