Brazil Cane Chile Again
Brazil vs Chile
in Jo'burg Ellis Park
In CONMEBOL qualifying, Brazil
beat Chile (4:2) and (3:0) yet Chile finished second to Brazil.
One South American team will be going out tonight but there could be
four in the semi-finals.
For the most part, we weren't given the first-half feast of football
that many expected; until Juan headed in Maicon's corner from the right, on the 34th
minute.
Luis Fabiano added Brazil's second just a few minutes later; after
Robinho and Kaka worked together, while the FC Sevilla player prepared himself to spring
the offside trap and round Claudio Bravo.
Half-time: 2:0
Chile started the second-half positively but found themselves
continuously running into yellow shirt cul-de-sacs.
With almost an hour played, Ramires ran towards the Chile defence then
laid the ball off for Robinho to make it three for Brazil.
The rest of the game was just a formality; although a booking for
Ramires means that he will miss the quarter-final against Holland, in Port Elizabeth.
Final Score:
Brazil 3 Chile 0
 Goalscorers:
1:0 Juan (34 mins)
2:0 Luis Fabiano (38 mins)
3:0 Robinho (59 mins)
Man of The Match:
Robinho - Helping to set up goals or scoring goals, he likes to get involved. Will he be
going back to Manchester City next season? Mancini likes to think so.

Previous Encounters:
Considering the previous encounters it's surprising that Chile didn't try harder to get a
draw with Spain in the final group game.
Brazil have won 46 and only lost seven of their 65 matches; drawing 12.
Brazil won both of their previous World Cup Finals encounters - (4:2)
in the Santiago semi-final at Chile 1962 and (4:1)
in the Paris Round of 16 match at France 1998.
To the Quarter-final in Port Elizabeth.
