Red cards: none MATCH REPORT Brazil made it one defeat in 30 games as their domination of Chile continued. The Samba Kings won both their World Cup qualifiers against Chile and it is now nearly ten years since La Roja tasted victory over Brazil.
Chile enjoyed good spells at the beginning of first and second halves but whilst they threatened, Brazil delivered. The first half had become a cagey affair until the Brazilians decided the game with goals in the 34th and 37th minute.
For all their silky skills the opening strike was more Stoke than Samba. A corner by Maicon was met by a thumping header from central defender Juan.
The second was classic Brazil as a quick counter attack ended with Kaka slipping a pass inside to Luis Fabiano who rounded keeper Claudio Bravo before finding the empty net.
Again Chile responded in the second period but for all their attractive approach play they lacked a cutting edge from promising positions. Robinho showed them the way on the hour as Nascimento Ramires drove forward from midfield before releasing the Manchester City star to sweep home.
Still Chile pressed for a consolation goal with Humberto Suazo and substitute Jorge Valdivia both going close but Brazil are ominously coming good at just the right moment. Starting Line-Ups
