City players scored at both ends in Brazil's comfortable 2-1 defeat of Paraguay, which sends the Seleção three points clear at the top of the South American 2010 World Cup qualifying group.
Paraguay went 1-0 up after twenty five minutes. Salvador Cabañas had a free kick from twenty yards out, which deflected off Elano's outstretched foot over Júlio César. It's been given as a Cabañas goal, rather than an Elano own goal, but it could have been either.
Robinho was the second City player to score, four minutes before half time. He was unmarked at the back post, meeting a Dani Alves cross with his left foot to score from close range. A good finish but Brazil weren't particularly good value for 1-1 at half time; neither Elano nor Robinho were really in the game against a very hard working Paraguay side.
Brazil went 2-1 up on forty nine minutes when Nilmar collected a lovely pass from Felipe Melo, to shake off a defender and score.
My laptop crashed soon after this, and given that it was game over by then and about 03.35, I couldn't be bothered to restart it and get Sopcast going again. So I don't know what Elano and Robinho did in the game's closing stages, but I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find it.
