India lost 0–4 to Brazil at Kolkata’s Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on October 3. The All India Football Federation’s match report and Reuters independently confirmed the result of the men’s international friendly.

Estêvão opened the scoring in the 28th minute and Pedro added the second in the 42nd. Substitute Samuel Lino scored in the 58th minute and again in stoppage time, leaving India without a goal despite opportunities in both halves.

India coach Khalid Jamil introduced goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Singh Gill at half-time. Ryan Williams and Manvir Singh created chances after the restart, but the hosts could not reduce the deficit. Brazil punished a lost ball near India’s penalty area for their third goal.

The federation described the match as the teams’ first meeting. Reuters reported that the defeat extended India’s winless run to six games. The result came after India’s 1–1 draw with Panama, the previous outing noted in PTI’s October 3 match report.
