Coutinho scores for Brazil as Arthur makes first start

Tite’s men thrashed El Salvador 5-0

Philippe Coutinho was on target for Brazil as they beat El Salvador 5-0 in a friendly at the FedExField.

Tite made plenty of changes to his side which also meant a first Brazil start for Arthur in midfield.

An early Neymar penalty put Brazil in front, before Richarlison doubled their lead on 12 minutes with a stunning strike.

Coutinho lead a fast break away to score the third. He eventually finished off the move with a low strike from the edge of the box.
