In the 14th minute, Ricardo won the ball on the left side, and when Ivory Coast right-back Demer approached, he had already picked up his speed, and he easily passed Demer with just a feint with a heavy shoulder, and quickly cut inside after going down to shake off Colo. Toure crosses.

Fabiano headed in and Barry struggled to lift the ball over the crossbar.

Brazil took a corner, Baptista grabbed the spot and volleyed it off the defender, and Kaka shot just wide.

In the 18th minute, Brazil attacked again on the left side, Ricardo received Kaka's pass and easily passed Demer, passed the ball to the middle before Yaya Toure came to make up for the defense, Fabiano adjusted a step after receiving the ball, slowed down half a beat, and finally shot off the defender and bounced.

In the 23rd minute, the Brazilian team slowly controlled the ball in the middle, and the Ivorian players were a little anxious, stepped forward to press, and messed up the defensive formation. Once the ball was at Kaka's feet, he shook off his opponent and sent a through ball to the left.

Ricardo ran to the open to catch the ball, flicked his tail off Tiot, and shot from a tight angle with his left foot.

Barry quickly fell to the ground to make a save and smacked the ball off his control, but it didn't roll far enough. Fabiano followed up with a follow-up shot to find the Ivory Coast goal again.

"Fabiano Goallllllll! Only halfway through the first half, he had already scored twice! ”

"Before the tournament, many thought that this game would be very intense, and that Ivory Coast could cause huge problems for Brazil and could be the biggest dark horse of the tournament. However, judging from the strength shown in this game, the Brazilian team still has a solid victory. ”

"Ivory Coast is not without quality, but their biggest misfortune is that they are in a group with Brazil and Portugal."

After taking a two-goal lead, Brazil slowed down the tempo and fell unhurriedly in midfield. Ivory Coast made a couple more saves, but almost every time Brazil seized the opportunity to hit them in the back, posing a huge threat.

As a result, Côte d'Ivoire did not dare to press the press easily, and could only watch the opponent control the ball.

After occasionally breaking the ball, Ivory Coast could not penetrate the Brazilian defence, Drogba did not have many opportunities to play under Lucio's marking, and it was difficult to connect the ball, and Ivory Coast had to rush to end the attack again and again with long-range shots from outside the box.

Until the end of the first half, Ivory Coast had only five shots on goal and one on target, and did not pose a serious threat to Brazil.

Brazil also didn't have many shots on goal, with 7 shots, 4 on goal and 2 goals. But almost every shot was very threatening.

In terms of possession, Brazil accounted for 68% of the possession, and these statistics can be seen how much Brazil squeezed the space, and Ivory Coast was completely passive.

At half-time, Dunga didn't stress much, just cautioned his players not to let up.

This game can be considered to have been won.

At the start of the second half, Ivory Coast pressed hard and tried to fight back.

This in turn gave Brazil a chance to fight back.

In the 50th minute, Brazil attacked from the right side, Rico dribbled the ball at high speed and crossed, and Fabiano's header rubbed back.

Ricardo received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, faced the up-and-coming Eboue, he picked the ball up, passed Eboue and didn't wait for the ball to land, and then picked it up again and passed Demer.

By this time, Eboue had already turned around and continued to steal the ball, and Ricardo picked up the ball for the third time, and the ball flew between Demer and Eboue, and he himself went around Eboue and volleyed with his left foot.

Barry can't make a save, and the football goes into the net!

"Ricardo Goallllllllllll! Brilliant goal! At this moment, he is simply possessed by Ronaldinho! I bet the video of this goal will have tens of millions of views on YouTube! The commentator got excited, "He scored his second goal of this World Cup, and it was also his 92nd goal for the Brazilian national team!" He continues to break records! ”

At this time, the live camera focused on the audience, sweeping South African President Zuma, FIFA President Blatter and Zinedine Zidane, who all applauded this wonderful goal. The camera ends up on a mixed-race girl and stays for 2 seconds.

Many people recognized that the girl was none other than Ricardo's rumored girlfriend, and it was rumored that Ricardo bought her an Aston. Martin.

Eriksen made a desperate change, with Gervinho coming on for Tindane.

After the restart, Ivory Coast played one of their most dangerous attacks, with Gervinho's low cross and Drogba's header down the middle narrowly missed the post.

Drogba looked very annoyed. With such opportunities, Ivory Coast did not get much in this game.

Brazil, on the other hand, controlled the pace of the game like a big net, holding Côte d'Ivoire firmly in the net.

In the 60th minute, Licardo's powerful volley went just wide.

One minute later, Ricardo broke through and sent in a cross that Kaka had saved from Barry in the middle.

In the 62nd minute, Ricardo won the ball on the left, he dribbled to the edge of the box and slowed down, but the Ivorian players did not dare to scramble up - the result of the scramble was easily passed, and the game has been played out a few times.

Ricardo confronted two Ivorian defenders when Kaka suddenly cut in at high speed, Ricardo flicked the ball towards the baseline, and Kaka took a big step before sending in a cross.

When the football came to the back post, Rico arrived and stabbed the score to 4:0 for Brazil.

Ivory Coast, which is four goals behind, has not completely lost its fighting spirit, and players such as Drogba are still struggling.

At this time, their goal is no longer to equalize, but to score at least one goal to prove that they are not fish belly and that they have been to the World Cup.

Eriksen made successive substitutions, Keita replaced Kalou, Romaric replaced Eboue, Brazil also began to adjust, Dunga replaced Ricardo and Kaka, giving Robinho and Elano the opportunity to play.

In the 78th minute, Elano scored Brazil's fifth goal with a long-range shot from the edge of the box.

But in the 89th minute, Yaya Toure's cross was headed into the Brazilian door by Didier Drogba, and Ivory Coast was finally not cut bald.

At the post-match press conference, Dunga couldn't hide his smugness: "I'm very happy with the process and the result of this match. I expected to win because we were Brazil. ”

'Fabiano has shown that he is a very capable player, he has a different type of play than Ronaldo, and I will match their playing time according to the opponent.

"Top scorer? I think it's going to be Ricardo without a doubt. At the moment he hasn't made a splash and you can see that in those two games he's happy to create chances for his team-mates. When it comes to the knockout stage and you meet stronger opponents, you will see a Ricardo with all the firepower. ”

After this game, Brazil have won both games and have already qualified early, and they will compete with Portugal for the top spot in the group.
