A last-gasp Kaka penalty snatched Brazil a 4-3 victory over a courageous Egypt in an exhilarating Group B opener at Free State Stadium. — Dunga’s side carried a two-goal cushion in at the break, but a quick-fire double had the Pharaohs level until Kaka’s stoppage-time goal.

Brazil defeated the USA 3-0 at the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa. The match was played Thursday, June 18, 2009 in Pretoria, South Africa. The United States is on the verge of elimination. It has no chance of advancing in the eight team tournament if Italy ties or defeats Egypt later Thursday. As was the case in an earlier 3-1 loss to Italy, the United States played a long stretch a man down after a red-card suspension. Midfielder Sacha Kljestan was ejected in the 57th minute with the Americans trailing, 2-0. With its second victory in the tournament, Brazil is guaranteed to advance to the semifinals. However it first will play Italy in a first round game on Sunday, June 21, 2009. Sources: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/19/sports/soccer/19soccer.
