Luis Fabiano blasts the ball past Boubacar Barry after Kolo Toure makes an absolute mess of his challenge.
Then Fabiano shrugs off Chiekh Tiene’s challenge, spinning him around, and scores his second goal with a left footed drive (video).
Elano gets the third goal when Kaka drives a ball across goal and the ex Man City player gets in front of Tiene reacting late to the danger, turning the ball past Barry (video)
Didier Drogba creates history by scoring the first goal against Brazil by an African nation in World Cup history. He turns his head very smartly to guide a long ball into goal. Lucio and Felipe Melo stop their challenge believing that he was offside (video)
One comment on “Video: Brazil 3 Ivory Coast 1”
Fabiano had two hand balls on his 2nd goal. That kind of crap pisses me off to no end. Video analysis of all goals should be a must and easy to do. To seemingly add insult to injury, ESPN even had a replay of the Ref chatting with Fabiano post goal and it appeared as though they were discussing the ball to bicep v ball to chest and he and the referee are all smiles. Who knows what they were saying, but this coupled with the antics, equal parts Brazilian and CIV, were annoying to say the least.
