Brazil striker Richarlison was left in tears after being substituted during Friday's match
It's a big season for Richarlison, who is now the main man up front at Spurs following the departure of Harry Kane.
He has started all four of his side's Premier League games but is yet to find the net, his only goal so far coming in the Carabao Cup defeat to Fulham.
Friday's match was Brazil's first of World Cup qualifying and put them top of the table courtesy of goal difference.
