But their victory was overshadowed by the sad dismissal of Kaka after the most popular midfielder received a second yellow card for clashing innocently with Kader Keita, Ivory Coast’s player.
In this match, the ultimate superstar was Luis Fabiano who scored 2 goals in the 25th and 50th minutes of the match. But the efforts of Robinho, Fabiano and Kaka dominated the entire game. Elano Blumer, Brazilian player scored the third and final goal for his team in the 62nd minute when none other than, Kaka made a smooth pass. From the initial stages of the match, both the teams tried their level best to keep the ball in possession. But, the ball mostly remained with the Brazilian team after they scored their first goal.
Drogba, Ivory Coast’s player, scored a single goal in the 72nd minute of the match. Inspite of the loss, Ivory Coast played a superb game. Their act is commendable as they faced one of football’s giants, Brazil.
