Brazil (4) v (3) Denmark
What a great match between the Brazilians and the Danish! What a pity for the final send off, that damaged the perfect image of this wonderful match.
Brazil started very well and they scored with Rafael Santos in the 2nd minute. Denmark, supported by colourful fans on the stands, had no fear and they equalized in the 2nd minute too.
Brazil, with their very organized and passing game took the lead again with Rafael Santos.
At the end of the first half, the Danish missed a penalty, but they left an impression of a team that can struggle against anybody.
At the restart Brazil scored the third with Andre Lima, but Denmark again recovered from the hell with two goals in two minutes.
In the 3rd minute the very skillful, but quite aggressive, Rafael Santos was sent off with the blue card but Brazil scored again with Edson Santos and the danish probably lost their head.
There is not a lot of explanations for the red card shown to a Danish player that headed in the face of a brazilian guy.
Before the end, Denmark missed another penalty and Brazil finally won 4-3, in a very good match but with not a lot of fairplay.
Man of the match: Rafael Santos (Brazil)
