Brazil 0 Portugal 0

Brazil started the game with two corners within 2 minutes. D. Alves saw his shot saved on 6’, Nilmar hit the post on 30’ – a great save by Eduardo. On 38’, Luis Fabiano just missed with his powerful header. Portugal spent most of the first half behind the ball, looking for a lucky break.

Simao Sabrosa had a shot saved on 58’; Ramires on 90’. The (lack of) commentary here speaks for itself.
