For the first time in their history, Brazil wore an all-black kit as part of their anti-racism campaign to face Guinea in a friendly.

It was a Real Madrid affair as Brazil and Guinea delivered a five-goal thriller on a special night for the South Americans in Spain.

Brazil thrashed the Syli National 4-1 in a friendly with three Real Madrid stars on target at the RCDE Stadium, home of LaLiga side Espanyol.

The attire by the Samba Boys was a huge statement against racism as they back their superstar Vinicius who was subjected to racism in LaLiga last season.

Brazil netted two goals in either half to easily dispatch their Syli National en route to a comfortable win.

Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton opened the floodgate in the 27th minute before Rodrygo doubled the advantage three minutes later.

Sehrou Guirassy pulled one back to give Guinea hope heading into the break as Brazil led 2-1 at half time.

However, after the restart, it was the South Americans who added to the scoreline with two more goals.

Centre-back Militao restored Brazil’s two-goal lead two minutes into the second 45 minutes before Vinicius wrapped up the win two minutes from time with the fourth.

The match ended with a special message from the Brazilian team that took to their social media account to share an emotional post moments after the game.

"With racism, there is no game! We won on the field. And we will win this tough battle against racism off the field."
