Tite’s squad moved onto 45 points from 17 games, marking a new South American record for points accrued in group-stage qualifying.
Brazil defeated Bolivia 4-0 having already sealed their place at Qatar 2022 and still have one game remaining.
Alisson and Fabinho completed the full match as goals from Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimaraes and a double from Richarlison secured the spoils.

The win saw Brazil surpass Argentina's points haul of 43 in 2002, playing out 14 wins and three draws so far.
Luis Diaz, meanwhile, helped Colombia to a 1-0 victory over Venezuela, though they missed out on earning a play-off berth by a single point.
The result means Peru will enter the next phase of qualification instead, while Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador had already joined Brazil in earning a World Cup spot.
