Gabriel Jesus grabbed an assist and Ederson earned a clean sheet as Brazil moved six points clear in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying with a 2-0 win away to Paraguay.
The City striker expertly plucked a lofted pass out of the air on the right inside four minutes before racing to the byline and cutting back for the onrushing Neymar.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward made no mistake at the far post, coolly slotting home to move within ten goals of Pele’s all-time record of 77.
Ederson was called into action soon after, expertly saving Omar Alderete’s ferocious drive from distance as Paraguay, sitting two points off automatic qualification, rallied after the early setback.
