India impress on counters, but even lacklustre Brazil too hot to handle; beat hosts 4-0 in Kolkata

Heading to the match, the general expectations was Brazil to create a flurry of chances and test India’s defence. Multiple goals were expected and even though that assumption turned true, but Brazil were far from producing their best brand of football. They lacked character and some may argue that it saved India from a humiliation. However, the other side of the coin can read that India were very well organsied defensively and threatened Brazil on multiple occasions, which no one expected.
