He and his colleagues battled through extreme conditions to make it to the commentary box, with and temperatures pushing 30C.
And Marques’ shirt bore the sweat marks to prove it.
As the camera panned to him and his team before the match, Marques was already chuckling and fanning himself with his commentary notes.
There were patches of sweat dotted all over his blue button-down shirt, but he still saw the funny side.
Marques said to co-commentator Maestro Junior: “You’re laughing, right Maestro? You’re completely dry… for now!”
Former Brazilian international Junior shot back a joke about the fact he had been spared by his undershirt.
Marques then felt compelled to show viewers that he, too, was wearing a white vest – and it wasn’t doing him much good.
But he may have undone one button too many as he unveiled practically his entire chest, leaving Junior in stitches.

Marques said: “Look at this! It’s not doing any good at all!”
Scorching temperatures have been a running theme at this ‘s World Cup, with Miami one of the hottest venues.
In fact, the game between and at the Hard Rock Stadium was the hottest of the tournament so far.
The ambient air temperature hit 34C for that game, with stifling humidity making it feel like 43C.
