[Confed Cup] Italy 0-3 Brazil
Group B - Matchday 3
ITALY 0-3 BRAZIL
Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria
A stunning spell of three goals in eight minutes from Brazil put paid to Italy's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup. Luis Fabiano put Brazil in front on 37 minutes after finding the corner of the net from just inside the Italy box. The Sevilla striker put Brazil further ahead when dinking over the onrushing Gianluigi Buffon from close range. And Andrea Dossena's own-goal just before the break consigned them to defeat and saw the USA qualify instead. 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 will now play hosts South Africa in the semi final in Johannesburg on Thursday.
Italy: Buffon, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Dossena, Camoranesi, Montolivo (Pepe 47), De Rossi, Pirlo, Iaquinta (Rossi 38), Toni (Gilardino 57).
Brazil: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Juan (Luisao 24), Andre Santos, Ramires (Josue 88), Silva (Kleberson 84), Felipe Melo, Luis Fabiano, Kaka, Robinho.
