Brazil beat US in the Confederations Cup final
Monday, June 29, 2009
Johannesburg : The final match between US and Brazil at the Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Sunday saw Brazil getting a taste of the American pie just nine minutes into the game. A perfect cross from Jonathan Spector and Clint Dempsey nudged the ball into the net.
Before Brazil could even gather their thoughts about them came the second assault.
Charlie Davies and Landon Donovan combined to make a mockery of a careless Brazilian defence. Beckham's MLS teammate Donovan deftly found the back of the net in the 26th minute.
An embarrassed Brazil came out with vengeance in the second half.
Brazil stepped up the pace and only a minute later, Luis Fabiano gave Brazilians something to cheer about.
A fantastic swivel to score the first to put his team on the score sheet.
The momentum was with the yellow jerseys and the night belonged to Fabiano.
He found the net a second time. The equaliser came in the 73rd minute.
There was no stopping Brazil now. The winning goal seemed like mere a formality.
Lucio gladly completed the honours heading in a beauty to get the crowd on their feet.
The American dream had come to an end as the yellow jerseys once again left a stamp of their supremacy.
