Brazil 2-0 Italy Highlights
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.

FAK BARAZELL
I´m Brazilian and I say that the coach Dunga was and is widely criticized. Because charge him and the Brazilian team because we know she can win and at the same time, make beautiful presentations with the ball. This friendly was important to show that Brazil is increasingly beyond, and is anxious to play nice.
