BRAZIL INTO THE FINALS OF THE CONFEDERATIONS CUP

                                       

Hey guys!! Brazil once again proved their name why they have won the WC five times, after beating the fellow Latin America rivals Uruguay at the Maracana stadium in Rio to take revenge of the 1950 WC final which was again hosted by this stadium.

                                   

The early part of the game was dominated by Uruguay eventually winning a penalty but it was Julio Cesar who came to Brazil's rescue then saving the penalty cheered by more than 60,000 fans present at the historic stadium.

After keeping the ball for most of the time during the first 45 minutes of playing, it was The Sambas who broke the deadlock and again Fred was the scorer. Surely,for this he wears the Brazil No. 9. From three minutes of the start of the second half, Uruguay struck back and this time Napoli striker Edinson Cavani was the scorer with a brilliant left foot finish.Score 1-1 to both.

                           

               

Brazil then went on to dominate the possession in the second half and their constant goal threat bore fruits in the 88th minute when the beautiful curling corner by Neymar was headed on by midfielder Paulinho putting the scoreline in favour of Brazil 2-1. It was a sigh of relief for 'Big Phil' known as Luiz Felipe Scolari as they displayed their popular rythmic style of playing to a great extent.
