Prior to kick off, Brazil were being hailed as the favourites to win the game, mainly because on paper they were the far better side.
Nonetheless, once the match kicked off, it was Paraguay who did all the talking, early on.
In just the 2nd minute of the game, Estigarribia cut in from the left and looked to test http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julio-Cesar-c19961. However, his effort was rather tame and fell straight into the hands of the keeper.
In the 4th minute, Santa Cruz got in behind the Brazilian http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904, after being played on by Barrios. The striker then went on to take a pop at goal, only to see his effort sail over the bar.
In the 18th minute of the game, Pato got one-on-one with the Paraguay keeper. He then went on to round the keeper, only to see him get denied after Villar recovered in time to block the ball.
In the 39th minute of the game, the first goal of the game was scored by the Brazilians. Brazil won the ball back from the opposition and looked to break on the counter. The ball then found its way to Jadson, who took a touch to get the ball under
control. He then went on to whip a right footed effort into the bottom corner and in doing so, helped Brazil take the lead in the game.
In the 44th minute, just before the end of the first half, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dani-Alves-c9869. Alves then went on to shoot at goal, but, couldn’t manage to place his shot beyond Villar.
