Brazil secured a last-gasp victory over South American rivals Argentina when Miranda headed an injury-time goal to win the Super Clasico friendly tournament in Saudi Arabia. Brazil had won 2-0 against Saudi Arabia, but in contrast to their rivals were at near-full-strength, yet struggled to produce the fluidity and creativity that has long been expected of them. They were also perhaps fortunate not to concede a first-half penalty, when Casemiro brought down Angel Correa in the area. Argentina’s most consistent threat came from Paulo Dybala, who went closest on the half-hour mark when curling a free-kick from the right narrowly wide. Richarlison had won one corner, which came to little, when another attack led by Neymar won Brazil another in stoppage time.
