Brazil beat Uruguay in World Qualifier Match
Five-time title holders Brazil were blessed to be two goals up at half time in Montevideo after Uruguay had hit the woodwork twice at one or the flip side of the half.
The success likewise broadened Brazil's long rule of strength over the Celeste, who have not beaten their savage adversaries since 2001.
Cavani's shipping off with 20 minutes to go covered a hopeless night for his side, notwithstanding having the better of things for a significant part of the main half.
Chilean official Roberto Tobar demonstrated him a yellow card after his thrust got Richarlison on the lower leg. In any case, after a VAR check, that changed to red, leaving Cavani skeptical, and he left the pitch hesitantly.
Brazil nearly drew first blood following two minutes of a vivacious opening, when Uruguay manager Martin Campana parried a short proximity shot from Gabriel Jesus after the Manchester City striker purchased a yard of room on the edge of the six-yard box.
Very quickly, Uruguay's 21-year-old Benifica star, Darwin Nunez, turned Brazil full-back Danilo inside the region and shook Ederson's bar after a flawless pass from River Plate's Nico De La Cruz.
