Jonas Oliveira gave Brazil a comfortable 2-0 victory for Brazil over Egypt in Doha.
Bob Bradley surprisingly dropped veteran keeper Essam El-Hadary who has been a regular starter for the Pharaohs over the past decade.
A goal in either half from Valencia striker Jonas made the difference for a Europe-based Selecao, who couldnt have wished for an easier international break.
Ahmed Hassans 178th appearance lightened some of the gloom for the African champions, with the veteran midfielder equaling Claudio Suarezs record as the worlds most-capped player.
Bradley started with Mohamed Al-Shennawi in goal at the expense of Essam Al-Hadari and the former was arguably Egypt best performer at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium.
Mohamed Nassef made his debut for Egypt, while six second-half subs couldnt inflict much of a damage to an almost second-string Brazil side.
