Brazil teach Italy a lesson

June 22, 2009

Brazil ended Italy’s hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the confederations cup with a blistering 8 minute spell that yielded 3 goals.

Luis Fabioano had a fantastioc game scoring 2 of the three goals including a dink over the onrushing Buffon.

Liverpools Andrea Dossena scored an own goal to finish the 8 minute – 3 goal spell which resulted in the progression of USA and Italy dropping out.

With Egypt losing 3-0 to the USA a 3-1 defeat for the World Cup winners would have been enough to go through, but despite a second half rally they never looked like beating Brazil keeper Julio Cesar.

Brazil were always the better team looking like the ones in need of a result and they were just too strong for Italy who look like a shadow of the team that won the World Cup only a few years ago.
