Brazil 2 - 0 Cameroon

One goal of Betica Rafael Sobis and one Marcelo Madrid, made both in the first part of the extension, defeated Cameroon with a ten, brought to Brazil in the quagmire that was sealed and ticket for the semifinals today of a vulgar " canarinha "


Dunga already opted for their classic 4-5-1 scheme that around 4-3-2-1 through the embodiments of Ronaldinho and Diego. However, introduced two amendments on the eleventh day no one expected: Breno by Thiago Silva in the centre of defence and, above all, Rafael Sobis, who finished giving the reason for Alexandre Pato pointed.

Brazil found from the kick-off that Cameroon would be a hard bone roer. Africans, with a 4-4-2 with their most prominent player, Song, putting the work of conductor well since the middle centre, at first, either from the centre of defence after the early injury Mbia, interrupted a and again, sometimes without any contemplation, the possessions of "canarinha" seriously hampers its construction of the game. In addition to muscle, Africans were also shown a good deal of speed and showed that they were able to exit quickly and planted in two steps in the vicinity of the area Renan barely recovered the ball, a factor that increased caution among Brazilians and that prevented that the "verdeamarella" optase, fearful of being caught on the counter attack, to seek happiness with the goal of Tignyemb, whose defense allowed just spaces.

Cameroon had knotted the game so much that the Brazilian could only be reached by any individual action, or failure of Africans to play ball stopped. Do not pass any of the three scenarios and the two teams cascaded the locker room tunnel after signing a dull first part, in which the domain corresponded to the "verdeamarella", who was unable, however, sometimes produce scoring noteworthy, except one Bot absence by the minute Ronaldinho 3 that cleared Tignyemb.

Cameroon tried to stretch something on the break, but was hampered its attempts to expel Baning in minute 51, who already had to leave the party in the first part (Diego also was able to do in the opening stages of the second half), although to which no provision wrinkles and, at times, felt that Africans were the playing eleven before a nervous Brazil and without ideas.

The duel again and stick to the script followed in the first, with a "canarinha" unable to transform into opportunities their numerical superiority and control of the ball, even with the entry of Thiago Neves, the better to China, and Cameroon agazapado confident able to impose his physical strength with the passage of minutes and strike the mazazo those of Dunga. The meeting seemed doomed to the extension since she arrived because none of the Brazilian stars did act appearance as the party required. Cameroon had a duel where it always wanted to have from the beginning.

And then, in one minute ten in the first part of the extension, when who else but who was beginning to think about the penalties and wondered why Dunga did not seek formulas that will revolutionize the clash, such as replacing an unpublished Rafael Sobis by Alexandre Duck, emerged from Betis striker to open the lock and lift African Brazil's tremendous predicament in which they lived. The Erechim took advantage of a pass in depth Diego after a stolen ball in the area and Brazilian beat Tingnyemb in its output, a goal which also launched in Brazil, which held that lock and defend the 1-0 had been playing with fire.

Thus, "canarinha" continued trying and Marcelo, right after a pretty accurate and Thiago Neves wall with four minutes later, Brazil finally allowed to breathe and close the match.
