Arsenal defender Gabriel has impressed national media with his ‘outstanding’ performance, earning an 8/10 rating.
In their World Cup qualifier against Ecuador on Friday night, Brazil showcased their skills at the Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba.
Real Madrid’s Rodrygo netted the only goal, securing a slim victory for the home team. Despite Ecuador’s two attempts on target, Brazil’s solid defense held firm.
Gabriel, who has been performing well for Arsenal in the Premier League this season, played the entire match alongside Marquinhos in central defense.
Supported by Liverpool’s Alisson in goal and flanked by Danilo and Guilherme Arana, the back line was well-structured.
Gabriel’s ‘outstanding’ performance included a critical goal-saving clearance in the first half, which was pivotal in maintaining Brazil’s lead.
Following a lackluster showing at the 2024 Copa America, Brazil is under pressure to regain their form, having faced Ecuador recently and set to play Paraguay soon.
GOAL recognized Gabriel’s contributions, awarding him a commendable eight for his efforts, highlighting his consistent excellence on the field.
1. Gabriel’s performance statistics for Brazil against Ecuador are as follows:
Minutes played: 90
Clearances: 1
Blocked shots: 2
Aerial duels won: 4 (2)
Ground duels won: 2 (2)
Clearances off the line: 1
Despite this, Brazilian media outlet Globo offered a more critical assessment, noting that the defender appeared anxious at certain moments.
Nevertheless, he received commendation for his clearance in the first half and was rated higher than his central defensive partner.
