In CONMEBOL qualifying, Brazil beat Chile (4:2) and (3:0) yet Chile finished second to Brazil.

One South American team will be going out tonight but there could be four in the semi-finals.

For the most part, we weren't given the first-half feast of football that many expected; until Juan headed in Maicon's corner from the right, on the 34th minute.

Luis Fabiano added Brazil's second just a few minutes later; after Robinho and Kaka worked together, while the FC Sevilla player prepared himself to spring the offside trap and round Claudio Bravo.

Half-time: 2:0

Chile started the second-half positively but found themselves continuously running into yellow shirt cul-de-sacs.

With almost an hour played, Ramires ran towards the Chile defence then laid the ball off for Robinho to make it three for Brazil.

The rest of the game was just a formality; although a booking for Ramires means that he will miss the quarter-final against Holland, in Port Elizabeth.
