Luis Fabiano scored twice and Kaka was controversially sent off as Brazil beat Ivory Coast 3-1 to qualify for the last 16. More
90+3' All over! Brazil deserved winners. Poor decision by the ref to red card Kaka.
90+3' Ramires replaces Robinho.
87' Kaka is sent off for a late elbow on Keita. An awful decision. He hardly touched the Ivory Coast player.
85' Toite is booked for a late challenge on Fabiano.
84' Kaka booked for pushing Keita. All very daft.
78' GOAL! Lung-bursting run by Gervinho before Drogba heads into the corner of net. Deft finish with 11 minutes remaining.
71' Going to be another change here for the Ivory Coast. Romaric replaces Eboue.
67' Keita comes on for Kalou for the Ivory Coast.
66' Dani Alves replaces the injured Elano.
64' Elanao has gone down. Bad tackle by Tiote.
62' THERE IS THE THIRD! Elano with his second goal in two games. Kaka pass and a fine finish by Elano. Surely all over now.
61' Lovely play by Brazil. Robinho feeds Kaka, but his shot is repelled by Barry.
55' Gervinho comes on for Dindane.
49' A WONDERFUL MOMENT BY FABIANO! He beats three players before thrashing a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net.
46' We are off and running for the second half.
45+1' A minute added and there goes the half-time whistle. Not very inspiring play so far.
30' Tiene is booked for a late one on Elano.
24' GOAL FOR BRAZIL! Kaka plays in Fabiano and he smashes the ball high into the net. Was a brilliant finish from an acute angle.
2' Robinho first shot on goal. Flew narrowly over from 25 yards. Fine dipping effort.
1' We are underway here. Ivory Coast knocking it around in the opening seconds.
87' Kaka is sent off for a late elbow on Keita. An awful decision. He hardly touched the Ivory Coast player.

54′ Can't believe the ref played in the favor of Brazil on that 2nd goal and then laughed about it. That sucks.

I can't believe the Ref allowed the 2nd goal then laughed about it.PI55 take..
The Ref should get banned for life, His adverse actions totally changed the game. I think both teams played with heart and sole and really enjoyed the dog match.
Diving, faking body checks is disgraceful and the players involved should be banned and punished.. This would make other players think twice about cheating..

brazil sucks, wait you will understand what i am talking about when they meet a team like Holland.

Brazil played very good soccer with great style and skills. No matter whatever anyone has to say they did well. They never believe that Ivory Coast was a worked over because initially the Ivoriens trried to come forward but were met perfect with the Brazillian skills and style which was more superior to theirs. So everybody should congratulate Brazil for playing well and winning. If you criticise the second goal what happen to first and the last were they also handball. Have taken time to scrunitize the fouls committed by the Ivoriens and the injuries inflicted on the Brazilians because I know if it was Brazil that cause Elano to be sent off assuming he was Ivoriens people would have a lot to say. Let to praise when he perform well. I have always wish Brazil even now and in the future because they believe in themselves and dont make boast. Posa for Brazil.

Football players who DIVE on a consistent basis are morally bankrupt, low life scums !!

Brazil deserved the win.Their second goal was controversial.The ref should have
disallowed that one but the other two goals were excellent.Brazil played and contolled
the game well.
Fluke goal?how the hell do you know.Kaka played a smart pass to Fabiano
who made it count,as they know how.Anyone who says that was a fluke is a sore loser.
Ok the second was controversial but the third finished it in style
Elano was stretchered off due to an obvious dig of Ivory Coast studs. Unintentionable
maybe but who knows.Kaka should NOT have been sent off! It was blatant cheating
by Keita.Kaka hardly touched him and Keita puts his hands over his own face and falls
for what,NOTHING.They knew they had lost, but respectful defeat would be a bit too
much to ask for wouldn't it!
Drogba scored 1 for the Ivory Coast them but to be fair, he didn't get much of the ball anyway.
All in all Brazil were the better side against a disorganised if not tense team.
As for Kaka it doesn't really matter too much if he misses the next game,which after when FIFA sees
what really happened,he won't but Brazil are through to the last 16 so not too much, uncalled, for damage.

Was it really necessary for some Brazilian players to DIVE every time they were about to lose the ball ? Even the big donkey Lúcio seems to fall all over himself at the slightest touch . Brazil is a great team . They don't need to resort to diving and cheating . Fabiano's second goal was a disgrace !!

Some people no nothing about football I for one refuse to listen to the medie and football pundit on the tv cos we cant learn from them they flay football but they dont know the rule of the game so with these people England cant reach far one the beleive in Brasil too much two if they dont like you you cant right for them kaka was a red card the law state if you raise your arm its a red card if it was the other way round they would say its a card yes i do agree that the player over act just to say brazil a fluke goal and they are saying that the guy mean it I laugh cos if that a other team it would be fluke but it brazil the dont like Argentina saying Maradona is not a coach he just have good players rubbish alot of team have good players and they cant win England for eg I see improvement in Argentina

I don't understand which match some of the people posting here were watching. Brazil outplayed Ivory Coast. You talk about Brazilians play acting, and we saw the sportmanship display by Keita to have Kaka sent off. I hope Ivory Coast will not qualify after this performance. Ivory Coast should've saw 2 red cards on the dirty plays which saw Elano stretched off the field and on Bastos. Ivory Coast players should be ashamed of being such bad losers to resort to this type of football style when they are behind in the match. You can give my post all the thumbs down if you want, that will not change the fact that Brazil were the deserved winners. I hope North Korea knock Ivory Coast out of the WC.

that referee needs to be banned, FIFA should scrutinse referees before they give them a go ahead to handle such sensitive matches, its a pity to FIFA

Good to see Drogba got a run out against Brazil and he continues to score.

FIFA should reverse the second goal

What is common to french football and french referee? They all are clowns who suxxx!

I don't agree with what the did with the second goal, it was a hand ball and the ref saw it , i think fifa will have to do something about it.

whats with teh comparisons to Ireland???? Ivory coast were NOT gracious in defeat, in fact, childish and dangerous tackles, and getting one of the best players in the world sent off is not gracious. No comparison to Ireland here. Wake up muppets

Are people seriously comparing the Henry hand ball with the Fabiano one????? Really! Please!! One is a group game with a losing team at 50minutes, the other was a QUALIFER in extra time, where the Irish were winning. Please!! The Henry hand ball cost the WC for Ireland, Ivory Coast lost their game on their own. Wake up

go more brazil go more

too bad too bad hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
