Changing over, the Brazilians dominated possession and chances created infront of goal. In the 65thminute, Brazil doubled their lead and scored two back-to-back goals in the 80th and 81st minute to make the scoreline read 4-0.

Brazil added more gloss to the scoreline in the dying embers of the match as they scored again in the 83rdminute. The full-time scoreline read 5-0 in Brazil's favour.

India will next face China on Sunday in their last match of the meet.
