Rolando looks on as Fried leaves the field
The first time that a 'national' selection (drawn from both Rio and São Paulo) had represented Brazil was for a friendly against the touring Exeter City in 1914.
Brazil won 2-0 with goals from Oswaldo Gomes and Osman.
Arthur Friedenreich reportedly lost 2 teeth during the game. He played on.
