Brazil moved to the top of the South America table in qualifying for World Cup 2010 and moved a step closer to locking up their spot. It was an important match as the top two squads in the standings faced off in Brazil on Wednesday.
The visitor jumped out in front in the 25th minute when Salvador Cabanas's free kick from outside the box took a deflection off Elano and looped over Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar. Brazil evened the match just before halftime when Robinho volleyed home a cross from Daniel Alves.
The winner for Brazil came just after halftime as Nilmar got on a loose ball and scrambled it home. The win moves Brazil to 27 points in qualifying while Chile follows closely on 26 and Paraguay sits at 24 still. Argentina holds the vital 4th spot on 22. Brazil must travel to rivals Argentina in September in a monster match.
