Brazil vs. Cote d'Ivoire 2-1(0-0)
It certainly wasn’t as many pundits predicted, but Brazil got their World Cup off to a winning start against North Korea last week. The Selecao were faced by an unknown quantity in their opening match, but Cote d’Ivoire provide Dunga’s men with an altogether more familiar foe in the second of Brazil’s ‘Group of Death’ encounters.
This is only Cote d’Ivoire’s second World Cup finals, but it’s also their second World Cup in the ‘Group of Death’. As virgins four years ago in Germany, the Elephants were eliminated early after defeats against Argentina and Netherlands, but this time around, they will be in with a chance right up until the final match, no matter what happens against Brazil. And so, Brazil is qualified after the second group game and Cote d'Ivoire will have to wait for the last game against North Korea.
The final score was 2-1 for Brazil with Robinho and Kaka scoring for Brazil and Didier Drogba for Cote d'Ivoire after a well executed free kick.
MoM: Kaka
