Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was given a rating of 6.5 from Brazilian press for his display against South Korea in their recent friendly. The Selecao ran out 5-1 winners earlier this week, with the Magpies midfielder grabbing another assist to continue his rich vein of form.
In his last four matches for his country, Guimaraes has notched an assist in each game and scored his first goal for Brazil in a 4-0 win over Bolivia earlier this year. The Magpies midfielder had been expected to start the friendly in South Korea, but Real Madrid's Casemiro started instead, despite linking up with Tite's squad late due to playing in the Champions League final.
Globo.com wrote: "Bruno Guimarães: he expected to be a starter, but ended up being removed from the team at the last minute, for Casemiro's entry. He had little time to show his football, but he made a beautiful shot that resulted in Gabriel Jesus' goal. Note: 6.5"
