Matheus Cunha, Antony Score as Brazil Hammer France at 2019 Toulon Tournament

Brazil made a big step toward qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2019 Tournoi Maurice Revello on Wednesday, as they defeated host nation France 4-0 in Toulon.

The away side dominated possession for much of the opening stretch and eventually took a 20th-minute lead through Antony, who finished well following some patient buildup from his team-mates.

While the French under-18 team emerged from half-time with renewed vigour, Brazil's under-22s looked as though they could up the ante when required. They did exactly that in the 57th minute, as Matheus Henrique curled home an exquisite shot at the end of a long passage of pressure.
