Brazil drew 1-1 with Senegal in a friendly in Singapore on Thursday as their run without a win stretched to three games, the longest since coach Tite took over in 2016.
Roberto Firmino opened the scoring for Brazil after eight minutes when he ran on to a pass from Gabriel Jesus and chipped the ball past goalkeeper Alfred Gomis from close range.

Senegal levelled with a penalty by Famara Diedhiou on the stroke of halftime after Marquinhos brought down Sadio Mane.
Both sides had chances to get a winner but Senegal will rue missing an opportunity to beat the five-times world champions.
Africa’s highest ranked team matched a full-strength Brazil throughout, with Mane hitting the post with five minutes left.
Neymar became the seventh man to win 100 caps for Brazil in a friendly draw with Senegal in Singapore.

The stalemate comes three months after Tite led Brazil to the Copa America title at home and follows last month's 2-2 draw with Colombia and 1-0 loss to Peru.
Brazil’s next match is a friendly with Nigeria, also in Singapore, on Sunday.
