Brazil turned on the style to beat world champions Italy 2-0 in a friendly on Tuesday and end coach Marcello Lippi’s bid for a record 32-match unbeaten run.

Elano and Robinho scored first-half goals to help Brazil make light of Kaka’s absence and put on a performance at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium which belied their coach Dunga’s reputation as a dour tactician. brazil2.jpg

    Elano’s goal was gorgeous and a great example of masterful teamwork, since Elano’s goal resulted from a series of amazing passes.

    Robinho’s goal, well, I still don’t see how he got past all of those defenders, and I am watching the repalys. Amazing.
