Brazil beats Argelia 2-0

Brazil beat Argelia 2-0 on Wednesday, on a friendly match played at Montpellier, France. The Brazilian National Team did not play well, but was competent enough to score two goals in the second half, when star players Ronaldinho Gaucho and Kaka joined the team from the bench. Ronaldinho took a free kick and Maicon headed the ball for the first goal. The second goal was scored by Ronaldinho himself, on a rebound from a shot by Diego. The match didn't mean much, and the display on the pitch probably won't help Dunga much in determining what the future holds for the team. But at least Kaka and Ronaldinho have shown they can't be seriously kept off the team when it matters.

    Hi there,

    A dislexia slipped into your post: Brazil beat Algeria, not Argelia.

    But you are absoultely right, this match didn't mean much to the Brazilian team. Yet, it probably meant a lot to the Algerian people. It'a always an amazing opportunity for smaller countries to welcome Brazil!
