Brazil got their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Chile Thursday.

Chile, who are one place off the bottom of the standings, rocked Brazil after just two minutes when veteran striker Eduardo Vargas steered a looping header over Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes to make it 1-0.

But Brazil drew level in first-half stoppage time after Savinho worked himself into space before crossing for Botafogo forward Igor Jesus to head home.

The match looked destined to finish in a draw until the 89th minute, when Brazil substitute Luiz Henrique arrowed in a low shot from the edge of the area to make it 2-1.

The win moves Brazil into fourth place in the standings with 13 points from nine games.

RESULT

Chile 1 (Vargas 2) Brazil 2 (Igor 45+1, Henrique 89)
