Their latest encounter took place during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where Brazil hosted Uruguay in the picturesque city of Bahia.

The match kicked off with Brazil pushing forward, dominated possession, and showcased dazzling skills and strategies that Brazilian football is famous for. However, despite their efforts, Uruguay stood their ground firmly, proving to be a formidable opponent. The highlight came when Gerson's powerful strike found its way into the net, leveling the score at 1-1 after Federico Valverde had earlier given Uruguay the lead. The draw certainly wasn’t what Brazil had hoped for on home turf; they knew they’d drop points against a rival they generally perform well against.

Interestingly, the draw has placed Brazil in a precarious but exciting position in the qualifiers as they continue to fight for supremacy in South America.
