SAO PAULO - Brazil booked their place at the 2026 World Cup in North America on June 10 with a lackluster 1-0 home victory over Paraguay, the first win of Carlo Ancelotti's reign.
The five-time world champions punched their ticket to the Finals in Canada, the United States and Mexico thanks to Vinicius Jr.
The Real Madrid star poked in from close range in the 44th minute in Sao Paulo after a cross from new Manchester United signing Matheus Cunha.
It was the perfect gift for Ancelotti on his 66th birthday, having seen his side held 0-0 by Ecuador last week in the Italian's first game as coach.
Former Real boss Ancelotti praised his team's commitment and attitude.
"It was a good match with a very good first half, although obviously we suffered a bit because Paraguay are very solid opponents and we slowed down a bit in the second," he said.
Uruguay's 2-0 win over Venezuela in Montevideo had raised the prospect of qualification for both Brazil and Paraguay at Corinthians Arena.
Paraguay needed only a point to qualify, while Brazil knew they could advance with a win.
