World Cup 2010: 2nd Round, Day 3: Chile Scorched As Brazil Scores



Netherlands 2 - 1 Slovakia
Brazil 3 - 0 Chile

A hard loss for Chile, a team that has shown some serious game this World Cup, marked by passionate determination and effective maneuvers. However, standing face to face with soccer's most formidable opponent this Chilean David, could not connect a blow with the Brazilian Goliath.

It was an intense battle from the start, both sides appeared intent on being the first to score. That victory would go to Brazil in the 34th minute via a spectacular header by defender Juan. Four minutes later, came another stunning goal for Brazil, a beautiful play that started with Robinho racing the ball up left field and ended in a gorgeous finale by Fabiano who actually leapt over fallen Chilean goalie Bravo to make the shot. Ramires and Rabinho capped things off in the 59th minute with a head-on strike down midfield.
