Brazil on Sunday became the outright record winners of the FIFA Confederations Cup by sinking North American champions the United States 3-2 here. It was the third time for A Selecao to gain the trophy after its victory in 1997 and 2005. That enabled Brazil to surpass the record of two Confederations Cup champion titles shared by France and itself.
For the United States, it was also a historic mark as it was the first time for the country to sail into a world final.
Kaka and Luis Fabiano (R) of Brazil hold their trophies after their team defeated the U.S. to win the Confederations Cup final soccer match in Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg June 28, 2009. Brazil won the match 3-2.
With the passion of over 50,000 spectators, the Yanks' cohesive attacking style proved that it was not a coincidence that they can make the breakthrough in the intercontinental tournament.
As Brazil was still mulling over the attacking strategies patiently, Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey received the cross from defender Jonathan Spector on the right wing and made the ball sliding into the far left corner of the net in the 10th minute, notching the opener for the Stars and Stripes.
The goal spurred A Selecao to unleash attack waves, but that only led to less coordination among the players in crossing. U.S. forward Landon Donavon kicked off a swift counter-attack in the 27th minute to double his side's lead.
