International News :: Brazil 4-3 Egypt - Video Highlights of the goals

Posted on 2009-06-15 by Gooner

Brazil had to rely on a 90th-minute Kaka penalty to overcome plucky Egypt and claim a narrow win to start their Confederations Cup defence in Bloemfontein.

The South Americans looked to be on their way to an easy win in Group B after first-half goals from Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Juan opened up a 3-1 lead at the break.

But a fragile first-half defensive performance meant Brazil never fully looked in control of the contest and two Egyptian goals in as many minutes soon after the re-start, from Mohamed Shawky and first-half scorer Mohamed Zidan, had the Africans dreaming of a memorable win.

Those hopes were dashed a minute from time, however, when defender Ahmed Al Muhamadi handled a Lucio shot on the line and was given his marching orders.

Kaka, who had been a largely peripheral figure, then stepped up to coolly convert the spot-kick and deny Egypt.
