The five-time world champions looked strong at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, even without injured Neymar.
Neymar missed the game because of a calf injury. His participation in Brazil’s opening World Cup match against Morocco on June 13 in New Jersey is still uncertain.
Brazil made a fast start. Vinicius Junior scored in the first minute after a pass from captain Casemiro.
Panama equalized in the 13th minute after an own goal by Matheus Cunha. But Brazil took back the lead before halftime through a header from Casemiro.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti made many changes in the second half. However, his team kept attacking.
Young forward Rayan scored the third goal after a mistake from Panama’s goalkeeper. Lucas Paqueta added another goal from outside the box.
Igor Thiago scored from the penalty spot to make it 5-1, before Danilo added Brazil’s sixth goal. Panama scored late through Carlos Harvey to reduce the score to 6-2.
Brazil will face Egypt in their final friendly match before the World Cup.
For Morocco, the match gave another look at the team they will face in their opening game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
