Assists against Morocco
Bruno Guimaraes assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Morocco.
Analysis: Guimaraes created Vinicius Junior's equalizer in the 32nd minute to help Brazil avoid what would be their first World Cup debut loss since 1934. The midfielder sent in the second-most crosses for his side and took one of their six corner kicks during the draw. That was his first WC start as he came off the bench twice in Qatar 2022, with no goals or assists.
Likely starter in midfield
Guimaraes is expected to start in midfield for Brazil in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Casemiro is pretty much locked in as one of the two starting midfielders in Carlo Ancelotti's system, and Guimaraes seems to have a leg up ahead of Lucas Paqueta for the other role. Guimaraes appeared in 29 Premier League contests (27 starts) for Newcastle and added seven starts in the Champions League, tallying nine goals and five assists. The central midfielder should thrive in a box-to-box role next to Casemiro.
