MEXICO 1-0 BRAZIL 19 June 2005 by FIFAworldcup.com Mexico secured a memorable victory over Brazil to book their place in the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup as Jared Borgetti's second-half header proved enough to decide an exciting Group B match in Hanover on Sunday. Mexico's win takes them top of the section with six points, leaving Brazil second with three points, ahead of their next opponents Japan on goal difference. Brazil must avoid defeat in that match in Cologne to join Mexico in the last four. As for bottom-placed Greece, this result confirmed their elimination. The only goal arrived via the head of Borgetti in the 59th minute after the same player had missed the chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the first period. Twice the kick was ordered to be retaken by referee Roberto Rosetti and the third time Dida dived to turn Borgetti's shot around the post. Festival of football Heralded as the most colourful clash of the first round, this all-Latin American encounter certainly lived up to its considerable promise. Even the weather suited the occasion, with the stadium in Hanover bathed in warm sunlight. Having suffered from the cold at the start of the competition, the players were suddenly performing in conditions more akin to what they are accustomed to back home. In a samba-infused atmosphere, the two teams' supporters were decked out in opposing oceans of green and yellow and packed the ground to the rafters. In accordance with his avowed intention yesterday, Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira submitted a match sheet similar to the one for the game against Greece. For the Tricolores, Ricardo Lavolpe opted for Ramon Morales and Gonzalo Pineda in midfield with Gerardo Torrado and Jaime Lozano on the bench alongside Barcelona ace Rafael Marquez, who was still not match-fit. Clearly expecting a tough test, the Mexicans opted to take the game to the Brazilians in the early stages. Starved of possession, the Brazilians had to bide their time. The young Robinho picked up the ball in midfield and let fire, but he saw his initial effort blocked by a defender before again testing the Mexican rearguard two minutes later. Brazil begin brightly It took Brazil a quarter of an hour to establish a monopoly of the ball. Put through in the right-hand channel, the crafty Adriano bore down on goal but the Mexican keeper Oswaldo Sanchez stood firm. It was primarily one-way traffic but Mexico were holding out well. On 29 minutes, the Mexicans had a golden opportunity to go in front when Borgetti went down after tussling with Roque Junior in the penalty area. The striker stepped up and converted the spot-kick but before he could begin celebrating, referee Roberto Rosetti ordered a retake for encroachment. The same happened after his second attempt which rebounded off the crossbar. This time Brazilian protests fell on deaf ears, and for the third time in a few minutes, Borgetti ran up to the spot. This time, however, Dida dived to his right to save. Shaken, the Selecao proceeded to step it up a gear. Sanchez suddenly had a flurry of shots to face, with Adriano in particular hitting a couple of powerful strikes that whizzed wide of the Mexican goal. Into the second half and the Brazilians and Mexicans continued where they had left off. All that was needed was the spark of a goal to light the blue touch paper. The Aztecs enjoyed plenty of possession, albeit without really threatening Dida's goal. For Brazil, the likes of Kaka and Adriano were struggling to pick holes in the Mexico defence but as the Brazilian rhythm grew in intensity, the tension became palpable, on the field as well as in the stands. A goal to remember Cool as cucumbers, the Mexicans persevered with their swift passing game, launching several lightning forays towards Dida's goal. One such counterattack led by Ramon Morales breached the Brazilian rearguard to threaten the AC Milan keeper's goal, but an outstretched leg from Lucio diverted the ball behind for a corner. It would prove only a temporary reprieve as the ball came over and Jared Borgetti rose highest to send a clinical header past the stranded Dida into the net. After his triple-penalty disappointment in the first half, the Mexican striker was understandably jubilant. There was suddenly a new urgency to Brazil's play, and a yellow wave swept repeatedly towards the Mexican goal. Worried by the way the game had been turned on its head, Parreira made an immediate double substitution, with Renato and Ricardo Oliveira replacing Emerson and Robinho. Lavolpe followed suit, bringing on fresh legs in the shape of Mario Mendez with a quarter of an hour still to play. Brazil, however, were playing stuttering football, with Ronaldinho for once unable to produce the wizardry required to rescue his side. The scorer of a splendid free-kick against Greece, Juninho Pernambucano was also introduced late on, but he too could do little to loosen the Mexicans' stranglehold. Indeed as Brazil's attacks repeatedly petered out or fell foul of the linesman's flag, Lavolpe's men threatened another goal as on one breakaway as a Mendez cross-shot rolled narrowly wide. Pacing the touchline in frustration, Parreira by now seemed resigned to defeat. The night belonged to Mexico. --- 其实这场比赛巴西占据绝大部分优势 但却无法给予墨西哥真正的「致命一击」... 全场巴西占有 55％ vs 45％ 的控球优势比 同时在射门次数上也以 19 次比 8 次遥遥领先墨西哥 但巴西的射正率太低只有 6 球真正威胁对方门将 相较於墨西哥的射门虽少却有 5 球威胁巴西大门 我想这点也正是为什麽 Ronaldo 在球迷、专家心目中地位始终难以动摇的原因 他已经不是 20 岁的身材以及体能了 但是经验、火候、技术使用的判断却更显老练 或许我们嫌他愿意跑动的意愿太少、太懒 但却不可否认的是 Ronaldo 知道自己应该把握「真正的机会」 相较年轻的 Adriano 跑动很积极、射门很豪迈 但整体而言门前的威胁性还是不如大罗 我欣赏 Adriano 的拼劲喜欢的踢法 不过他必须要更注意如何锻链「更有效率」的踢法 这一点我们倒是不能不佩服 Ronaldo 的懒惰 Orz 另外 Adriano 有时在比赛也过於勉强自己 这一点是 Ronaldo 现在不会做的事情 当然以前的大罗是会这样做啦 但这也是建立在他是「外星人」的前提上（看过以前的他的人绝对同意！） 阿德很强没错...不过我还是觉得他顶多是「像外星人的地球人」... 同时和 Ronaldinho 的配合上 Adriano 也需要和 Ronaldo 多多学习 当然这是绝对是可以藉由时间增进的 大罗和小罗也是配合多年才有现在的成绩和威胁性 Anyway，这场失败我相信不会对巴西造成多大的冲击 胜败关键不在於防守的孱弱，乃在於巴西进攻的效率 世界级高手过招本来就没有一定能封锁对方的道理 丢个一球实在没啥理由大书特书（请记者不要太紧张） 对於巴西而言，重点还是在於他们能够将自身进攻发挥到什麽程度 毕竟这才是喜欢巴西的球迷最被吸引之处 就像义大利球迷有许多是爱上其超赞防守 当然这不是说巴西对於他们的後防问题就不用管放给他烂 -___- 我自己是认为 Parreira 要麽就是把 Ze Roberto 换成 Gilberto Silva（or Juninho） 要麽就是不要只摆两个中後卫要摆三个（现阶段用 Juan 或 Luisao 都可以） 我自己是认为明年最好用 Alex + Lucio + Edmilson or Juan 会比较好 其实我一直搞不懂囤积一个进攻型的中场在防守位置干啥？ 而且 Ze Roberto 还是主踢边路的球员叫他去踢中路？ 更况且他的特点是「个人盘带」而不是传球、反击 难不成教练还奢望 Ze Roberto 从中後场一条龙杀到人家禁区边缘吗？ 巴西已经囤积够多的进攻型球员在中前场 现在需要的真的是「攻守平衡」关系 以及最重要的「战术适用」问题 最後请把右後卫换成 Maicon 谢谢！他绝对是一流的！ 新闻网页： http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/050619/1/3xz1.html 比赛图片（共 50 张）： http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/c_match_photos/index.html?i=4&d=0 --
