Earlier on, there was 2026 World Cup qualifying action to keep an eye out for, involving our Reds.

Like Lindelof, Casemiro skippered his country to a victory in which they netted five goals, as Brazil kicked off their campaign in South America with a 5-1 win over Bolivia.

Forwards Neymar and Rodrygo each netted twice for the five-time World Cup winners, with Raphinha also finding the target. Victor Abrego was Bolivia’s scorer.

Meanwhile, Uruguay also put three points on the board in game one, with young United winger Facundo Pellistri playing 71 minutes in their 3-1 home triumph over Chile. Nicolas de la Cruz (2) and Federico Valverde got La Celeste’s goals, before Arturo Vidal’s consolation for the visitors late on.
