Even with the Brazilian fans in the majority at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA, Brazil is trailing France 1-0 in the friendly.
The national team started by marking the current world runners-up well and even came very close to opening the scoring.
When Vini Jr won the ball back in the attacking half, Gabriel Martinelli shifted it onto his left foot and unleashed a rocket from the edge of the box that skimmed the post.
However, less than five minutes later, Andrey Santos played Casemiro into trouble, and he was dispossessed in midfield.
Dembélé set up Mbappé behind Léo Pereira, and the French star showed great class to lift it over Ederson and score a stunning goal.
This was Mbappé’s 56th goal for the France national team, and he is now just one goal away from drawing level with Giroud as the top scorer for the two-time world champions.
With Brazil behind and with an eye on preparation for the World Cup in June, what should coach Carlo Ancelotti change for Brazil to come back and turn the game around?
On the Brazil bench are goalkeepers Hugo Souza and Bento, as well as Danilo, Ibañez, Kaiki Bruno, Danilo Santos, Fabinho, Gabriel Sara, João Pedro, Endrick, Luiz Henrique, Igor Thiago and Rayan.
