Match Report: -

Brazil ran riot over the Chinese who just couldn't hold off the strong competition of last times runners up. Roberto Carlos opened the scoring with a superb free kick, after just a quarter of an hour of play. Another stunning effort into the left side of the goal.

Rivaldo then added a second, before a penalty decision was given, which Ronaldinho slotted away with ease. Brazil finished the game off 10 minutes after half time when a long run down the right and then a square ball across goal from Cafu, made it easy to finish from 4yards for Ronaldo, someone unlikely to miss. An easy win for one of the favourites.
