Brazil 3 (Juan 34,Luis Fabiano 38,Robinho 59) Chile 0
Brazil and Chile were fairly even till the 34th minute. That was when a Maicon corner found Juan who powered his header past Bravo in the Chile goal. Then 4 minutes Brazil went 2-0 up. Luis Fabiano rounded the keeper and put the jabulani in the net. That was after a Brazil got down the wing with Robinho who played in Kaka. He then played a tremendous controlled pass to Fabiano who did the rest.
Chile started well and were looking likely to create a chance to grab a goal but 15 minutes Brazil wrapped up the game and made it safe. A great run from the half way line from Ramires allowed Robinho who was able to curl his shot past the Chilean keeper from inside the box. That made it 3-0 and comfortable for them. That allowed Dunga to bring off Kaka, Robinho & Luis Fabiano to save them for the quarter-final.
