HELTER-SKELTER DRAW ENDS HONOURS EVEN
Spain and Brazil proved that the international break is anything but boring with a thrilling 3-3 draw including two penalties in the last 10 minutes that showed both sides are forces to be feared ahead of the Euros and Copa America.
The hosts had the better of the first-half and looked to be cruising when Dani Olmo scored their second with ten minutes to go after a Rodri penalty.
However, a howler from Unai Simon gave Brazil a lifeline and the half-time introduction of Endrick once again changed the complexion of the match as the fourth-youngest Brazilian goalscorer in history doubled his international tally almost immediately.
Both sides had chances to win the helter-skelter game but Rodri’s second penalty in the 87th minute appeared to have settled the score - until debutant Galeno won a spot-kick of his own at the death and Lucas Paqueta converted to secure what was likely a fair result for both sides.

FULL-TIME: SPAIN 3-3 BRAZIL
And that's virtually the last kick of the game! The debates are running well after the final whistle but the reality is that this was an absolutely brilliant game between two top sides that probably deserved to end honours even.

GOAL!!! SPAIN 3-3 BRAZIL (PAQUETA)
And he makes no mistake! The West Ham player has barely been in this but sent Simon the wrong way with his stuttered run-up and coolly lifted his kick into the net!!

WHAT A CHANCE!
That was so nearly the chance! The ball fell to Paqueta inside the box but Simon was out so quickly and snuffed out the danger. As Spain break, Beraldo picks up a yellow card halting the attack - incredibly it's just his first of the game though.

YAMAL OFF
It's been a couple of late changes for Spain in the five minutes of added time, Williams left for Sancet and now Yamal gets his standing ovation - replaced by Jesus Navas who was in the Spain team the last time these sides met in 2013.

GOAL!!! SPAIN 3-2 BRAZIL (RODRI)
Rodri put just as much power behind it as his first spot-kick but this time swung it left, Bento guessed the wrong way and Spain could well have their winner!

PENALTY! AGAIN!!
Yamal wasn't felled this time but he still created the chance. It was an exquisite ball from the outside of his left boot that Carvajal would've latched onto if he hadn't been barged out of the way by Beraldo first!

CHANGE AT THE BACK
Robin Le Normand has played much of the game with a booking but has been really strong back in the Spanish starting XI - though 17-year-old Pau Cubarsi has also been ripping it up for Barcelona.

CUCARELLA DOWN
It doesn't look too bad for the Chelsea man who hit the deck after a collision with Endrick, but it did draw out quite the debating party from each bench. Vinicius was at the forefront of that for the visitors and Endrick is booked but it was still a bit of an overreaction.

SO CLOSE!
However, Spain are mostly being reduced to long-range efforts too. Dani Olmo's shot was parried out for a corner by Bento but when the midfielder recieves the ball in the six-yard box he's stopped from shooting by the linesman's flag.
There may not be any more goals in this one but there'll be plenty more chances by the look of things.

SPAIN IN CONTROL
Brazil haven't really threatened Unai Simon since that Beraldo shot, the last 10 minutes have been all Spain.

VINICIUS OFF
Aside from a few whistles, it's an overwhelming positive farewell to the Brazilian captain as he's replaced by Douglas Luiz.

WELL DEFENDED
The trouble with Spain is they try and walk it into the net. It wasn't quite that bad from the hosts in reality but with Brazil keeping positional discipline in their box, the hosts couldn't find an opening despite plenty of possession before Ruiz stuck his shot straight at Bento.
64'
FINELY POISED
You really can't call this with 25 minutes to go. It's going to need more quality than that Lucas Beraldo shot though - the centre-back had Vinicius and Rodrygo as options but took the shot on himself and fired over.
60'
PENDULUM SWINGS AGAIN
Spain are back in the ascendancy - you can't take your eyes of this one. It's the other teenager causing problems for the hosts, Yamal had Beraldo beaten before he was fouled to set up a tantalising set-piece.
58'
ANOTHER OLMO CHANCE
He came onto it quickly but Olmo couldn't add his second, as the well-hit shot was straight at Bento - who's had a good game despite the scoreline.
