Ivory Coast v Brazil

Ivory Coast v Brazil, 20 June 2010

Brazil played an average game this evening, string in midfield but despote the goals, lacking in overall passion.

The first goal was a corker; the ball went to Fabiano when he wasn't in a fantastic position to the right of the goal, but he powered it in to hit the top of the net inside the goal.

Fabiano's second goal was disputed as hand ball by Ivory Coast's coach Sven Goren Ericson.

Elano made it 3-0, and Ivory Coast pulled out all the stops in the last few minutes, gaining a goal from Drogba.  But it was a case of too little, too late.

Final score: Brazil 3, Ivory Coast 1
