France secured a 2-1 victory over Brazil in an International Friendly on 26 March, capitalising on clinical finishing despite being outshot by their hosts. Brazil dominated possession and created more chances, registering 17 shots with four on target and an expected goals figure of 1.57, yet their profligacy proved costly. France, operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, were far more efficient, converting their limited opportunities; they managed just seven shots but three found the target, with an xG of 0.98. Brazil's goalkeeper maintained a 75 per cent save percentage, though this proved insufficient to prevent the defeat. Bremer's goal proved a consolation for the hosts in their 4-2-2-2 setup. The result underscores France's superior efficiency in transition, exploiting gaps in Brazil's attacking structure with precision rather than volume. France's away-day resilience suggests tactical maturity in this fixture.
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
