78' Kaka
83' E. Blumer
85' Kaka




Anna Italia:  Finally Brazil woke up and smelled the coffee. This time neither Wagner Love nor Ronaldhino nor Kaka disappointed their fans. Kaka proved why he is being praised so much by Ronaldhino, Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, among many. However, Dunga seems to have found his basic key players. Now, the challenge for Brazil will be to keep consistency and return to the jogo bonito. Congrats to KAKA!
