England Vs Brazil Friendly Football Match -Wednesday Feb 6,2013


Brazil returned to Wembley as part of the Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations - and played their full part in a highly entertaining friendly.England Won the Match 2-1


Wayne Rooney steered England into a first-half lead with his 33rd goal for England at the 27th minute after goalkeeper Joe Hart had earlier saved Ronaldinho's penalty.


Fred put Brazil level just after the interval at the 48th minute

but Lampard, on as a half-time substitute for Tom Cleverley, gave England the lead at the 60th minute


Ronaldinho, received a commemorative shirt from the Brazilian federation to mark his 100th cap - but he was unable to celebrate it with a goal as he missed a penalty after 19 minutes. The award of handball against Wilshere from Ronaldinho's cross appeared harsh, so a measure of justice was done as Hart saved his spot-kick then recovered superbly to scoop away the rebound.

  • England's win over Brazil was the first since 1990 when Gary Lineker's header earned a 1-0 victory at Wembley
  • It was also the first time England have scored two goals versus Brazil since 1984 when John Barnes (pictured) ran in a stunner and Mark Hateley followed up for a 2-0 win in the Maracana
