Two assists from Elano set Brazil on their way to a 4-3 win in their opening Confederations Cup game against Egypt today.
The score was 1-1 after goals from Kaká and Mohamed Zidan within eleven minutes before two Elano set-pieces turned the game for Brazil. First, a free kick from forty yards out was met a flick header from Luís Fabiano, sending it into the net. And soon later an Elano corner was headed home by Juan. At half time Brazil were cruising at 3-1 up.
The second half was more even, with Egypt scoring twice quickly to bring the scores level. Elano and City team mate Robinho were withdrawn on 62 minutes, replaced by Alex Pato and Ramires, but Brazil still managed to win the game: Kaká scoring a late penalty after a shameful hand-ball by Ahmed al-Muhammadi.
