Brazil beats Italy 4-2 (Confederations Cup 2013
Neymar scored his third goal in three games at the Confederations Cup as Brazil beat Italy 4-2 in an absorbing Group A contest in Salvador.
The forward, who has joined Barcelona from Santos this summer, curled home a wonderful free-kick to beat Gianluigi Buffon on 55 minutes as Brazil finished their Group A campaign with maximum points.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side took the lead in first-half injury time through defender Dante, and after Emanuele Giaccherini finished from a fine Mario Balotelli assist to level, Neymar struck his free-kick and Fred grabbed an accomplished third.
Italy pulled one back when Giorgio Chiellini scored in contentious circumstances after 71 minutes but Brazil claimed a fourth through Fred in the closing minutes.
The Azzurri finish second in the group following Saturday’s defeat, with both teams heading into the semi-finals (eurosport)
