| Substitute Daniel Alves broke South African hearts with an 87th-minute
free-kick for Brazil that dumped the hosts out of the Confederations
Cup with a narrow semi-final victory in Johannesburg.
The Barcelona right-back, who only came on for the closing stages
of the game, smashed in a powerful 18-yard set-piece from the
left to stun the huge crowd at the Ellis Park Stadium after their
side had performed impressively for most parts of the game.
However, they eventually fell short and will now meet Spain in
the third-place play-off on Sunday, while the Selecao will face
the United States in the tournament finale.
