The most successful team in World Cup history Brazil, looks to continue their quest for a sixth title by knocking out a red-hot Chile in a much-anticipated match of the Round of 16 on Monday. Brazil prevailed over Chile, 3-0, in a Round of 16 showdown in Johannesburg. With an organized defense, Brazil counterattacked against an overeager Chilean team and cruised for a relatively easy 90 minutes. Brazil worked its game plan to perfection to start the game, absorbing Chile’s early advances while looking for an opening of its own. That chance came in the 34th minute, when Juan found himself free in the box to head in a corner kick from Maicon, putting Brazil ahead, 1-0. Chile looked for an instant response, but it was the Brazilians who unlocked the Chilean defence for the second time in the space of two minutes with a beautifully worked goal. Robinho started the play with a striding dribble down the left side, before passing to Kaka, who was trailing the play down the middle. Then, with one touch, Kaka released Luis Fabiano into the box, and the striker just had to dribble past Claudio Bravo, Chile’s keeper, to double Brazil’s lead.The game was surely over from there. Brazil are too defensively closed and Chile just could not break them down.Robinho added a goal in the 59th minute, after Ramires made a slicing dribbling run through the heart of Chile’s defense.
Playing against Brazil is not good experience for chile at all. The two teams have met 65 times before
. chile won only 7 match and they lose 46 match.
