Brazil crush Chile 3-0 to reach last eight

Share

Johannesburg: Brazil produced their best performance of the World Cup so far to crush Chile 3-0 on Monday and set up a mouth-watering quarter-final against Netherlands.

Juan and Luis Fabiano scored before the break and Robinho added a third just before the hour in a superb all-round performance from the five-times world champions.

Luis Fabiano's strike was the pick of the goals, coming after a delightful interchange of passes involving fellow forwards Robinho and Kaka.
