Called up for the first time in October, Abner experienced his third cap with Brazil on Thursday evening. The OL full-back was once again the starter in the Brazilian draw in Venezuela (1-1).
L’OL can boast of having two international left-handed full-backs and not just to make up the numbers. With Nicolas Tagliafico et Abnerthe Lyon club has two real starters. For the Argentinian, this is not really a surprise since he has been part of the Albiceleste furniture for several years already. World champion in 2022, Tagliafico started again this Friday night with theArgentine. He played the entire match, but was unable to prevent his country's defeat against Paraguay (2-1), after a stormy meeting and in particular a certain pressure from Lionel Messi. Despite everything, Argentina retains its first place in these South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil he missed a great opportunity to retrace the steps of his long-time rival.
Another complete match for the Brazilian
A little earlier in the evening, the Auriverde faced the Venezuela on the side of Maturin and could not do better than a draw (1-1). Raphinhathe winger of Barçahad nevertheless opened the scoring just before the break (43rd), but Segovia (46th) equalized barely after returning from the locker room. The penalty missed by Vinicius (62nd) did not help the Brazil who remains five lengths from Argentina. For Abnerdespite everything, it was still a great evening since the Lyonnais signed a third start in three selections with the Seleçao. He only left his place in added time to Being. Next meeting on November 20 with the reception of theUruguay before returning to Lyon for the trip to Reims.
