10 Minute Match Ronaldinho Brazil vs Beckham England 2002 FIFA World Cup #sports #worldcup

Shizuoka, the venue for the first of 2002's FIFA World Cup quarterfinals. Last time Brazil and England met on the world stage was back in Mexico in 1970, a match that produced iconic moments and a Brazilian victory. England benefit as ever from a huge travelling support, but face a side who are the only team to have won every game they've played so far in regulation time. Roberto Carlos scored against China in the group stage, what can he manage here? Nobody knows what's likely to come. Sometimes dealing with it can be something completely different. It is Carlos, and the runner out of the wall did his job. It's taken a deflection off the edge of the wall and out of play. Brazilian corner, I think it was Heskey that it hit. Rivaldo from the Brazilian right-hand side, Lucio came to meet it. David Seaman just about got something on it. England still unbeaten in a competitive international since Eriksen took charge. Their toughest test so far, against a side who've won 10 of their last 11 games. And it's Rivaldo who leads the Brazilian attack here. Aronaldo, shown inside by Scholes. It'll 1-2 with Rivaldo, but he didn't get the power in the shot that was needed. First real chance for a player who's scored in each of his last five internationals, but didn't get hold of it. Heskey flighting it forward, on mistake by Lucio. It's Michael Owen, and it's 1-0 to England. A goal against the run of play. But it's England who have their noses in front. Played forward by Emil Heskey, Lucio backpedalling. Just misjudged it, and Michael Owen was there. The predatory instincts of a man who's scored 35 goals for club and country so far this season. That, far and away, the most important of the lot. Delight on the England bench, and they lead Brazil in the World Cup quarter-final. Romadinho supplying the width on the Brazilian right this time. Shown inside by Ashley Cole. Aronaldo dropping deep. Can't find a way through, but his persistence will still buy him another opportunity. Taking on Cole, who's defending strongly, but not strongly enough. Seaman does well. Might break here for Gilberto Silva. Threaded through, Campbell in strongly. England with their backs against the wall for a moment here. Danny Mills. Towards Heskey, a looping attempt. Marcos had it covered, just taking a couple of hasty steps back to make sure he wasn't embarrassed. Problems in the end for the Palmeiras goalkeeper. Sinclair. Find Heskey in the midfield. Aronaldo, industrious. There to win it back, here's Roberto Carlos. Just had David Seaman scrambling across his line for a moment. Speculative. Optimistic, but relatively close. But for Mills. Nicely high by Rio Ferdinand. Trying to bring the ball under close control. It's Roque Jr. that can bring it away. Ronaldinho. Chance for him to run at Ashley Cole. And he's just breezed past him. He's got Rivaldo to his right. And it's 1-1. Deserved equaliser coming on the stroke of halftime. Devastating turnover of possession. High up the field. Ronaldinho. Unbalancing Cole. Unlocking the defence. And Rivaldo unleashing the equaliser. In the second minute of first half stoppage time. Heath for Scolari and Co. They'll go in at halftime all square. Cafu's throw. And Scoles with a very firm challenge. Brinkley to Brazil. Big gap for Ronaldinho to try and hit here as he floats it in. Oh! It's drifted over David Seaman and in. Brazil lead by two goals to one. Whether he meant it or not. A horrible moment for the England goalkeeper. Who knows that he's been here before in big game situations. Beaten by Naeem in the Cup Winners' Cup final like that a few years ago. And Ronaldinho has just placed one to perfection into the top left-hand corner. Scoles. Struck a position trying to make something happen again. Now Danny Mills. The ball in. Daniel Heskey. Did well to get it across. England have a corner. Lucio with the clearance after Ed Nielsen was beaten at the near post. The keeper came out, got nowhere near it. But his defensive corner did the job for him. Ferdinand finding himself on the right wing. Carlos diving in. And the second time of asking. Free kick has been given. Scoles the player that was brought down. Another set-piece opportunity for England. Carlos and Cleverson in the wall. Steyder Beckham standing over him. Making a darting near post run. He's delivered deeper than that. Defending good enough at the far post. It's Cole! Back through a crowd of players. And again. Shot that was probably off target. He's dealt with relatively comfortably. Carlos finding Ronaldinho. Back for the full-back. Ever willing to make ground. Too far that time, thanks to the challenge from Butt. Scoles forward. And he could break for Dier here. The substitute with options either side of him. He just wanted too much time. Cleverson's doing well for Brazil in the midfield. That was a typical interjection. Rivalba. Ronaldinho. Oh, he's caught Mills. It's a red card. Ronaldinho sent off. And he's gone from hero to villain in the blink of an eye. There to be one that Ronaldinho went in high and late over the top on Danny Mills. He's very reluctant to leave the field. And the man who gave Brazil the lead has now given them a real problem. Down to 10 men for the remainder of the game. Now Mills. Carlos. Cross from Beckham. He takes the throw quickly. He tried to get the bodies forward. Mills on the turn with his weaker foot. Deflection spins it over the bar. Buffet Jr. the man that it hit. Running out. It has been a subdued performance by England since they've had the numerical advantage. And they create one last worthwhile opportunity. Dier. Navasal. Everybody back for Brazil. Campbell playing it forward. He's taken deflection off a Brazilian head. Out of play for a corner. And this could be the moment. Beckham across to take it. Brazil nearly there. And it's Buff that attacks it. And it's wide. It would have been a fine time to score his first international goal. But Rivaldo did enough to deny him a clear run of the ball. Brazil march on. Now just 90 minutes away from a third successive final. But how England will ruin this opportunity. Rivaldo and Ronaldinho the Brazilian heroes. The manner of his winning goal. Hard to take for the English. Who seldom look likely to make the most of his subsequent dismissal. Brazil into the last four. After beating England by two goals to one.
