Allan performed seemingly average for Brazil as they were able to squeak out a 1-0 victory against Venezuela. 

3. Allan

Appearances – 1

Goals – 0

Assists – 0

Minutes Played – 90

Clean Sheets – 1

Rating – 7

Brazil’s attack seemed to be the problem against La Vinotinto, but they remained solid defensively as they kept a clean sheet after Roberto Firmino grabbed a goal in the 67th minute.

Usually, I’d go into details about Allan’s defensive contributions but all I have to go off is a clean sheet, which is why I’ve bumped him up from the average of 7 since it’s clear Allan will have had an impact in the defensive performance and he was able to play the full 90 minutes.

One problem for Everton fans is that Allan may have picked up a muscular problem in those 90 minutes and looks unlikely to play in Brazil’s game against Uruguay, hopefully, this is just a one-game problem as an injury to Allan could be a serious problem for the Toffees just after regaining a full-strength starting lineup.
