Estevao and Pedro scored in the first half before Samu Lino netted twice after the break as Brazil beat India 0-4 on Saturday in Calcuta. Played in high humidity, the match was the first meeting between the two national teams.
Estevao opened the scoring with a shot from outside the area after a fine move. Pedro, leading the attack, extended the advantage shortly before half-time. In the second half, Lino took advantage of an opposing error to make it 0-3, then scored the fourth goal in added time.
