The opener of the Confederations cup ended with a 3-0 win for Brazil. Neymar, Paulinho and Jo all got on the scoresheet. Brazil had the lead through a spectacular goal from Neymar in the 3rd minute. Neymar volleyed the ball from outside the box after Fred set it up for him. It was a great finish from the Barcelona man. There are high expectations for Neymar in this tournament and in Barcelona. Paulinho added a second in the 48th minute. It was another cross form Dani Alves and Paulinho got on the end of the cross but had to turn to finsh. He shot but the keeper got one hand to the ball but that wasn't enough to keep the ball out of the net. Brazil added a third in the 3rd minute of stoppage time through Jo after the tireless Oscar made an amazing pass to the former Manchester City. Japan played well but didn't have the quality in the final 3rd to finsh of their chances. Honda and Kagawa were the best players for them. Honda played well in the first half but played were poorly in the second half earning him to be substituted. Japan were too poor and couldn't keep the possession for long and kept losing the ball.
Neymar played exceptionally well and was nominated for Man of the match. He is under the most pressure this game because everyone was expecting him to shine. He played very well. He did some of his trademark skills to get past players was by far the best player of the match. His first goal was spectacular and might be a contender for goal of the tournament. A great game and it was a solid start for the Brazil. The key to wining would be to keep consistent. They have to be very consistent. Brazil need to win this Cup to be prepared for Brazil. The need to win because of Morale and because to come together. The team need to bond together and play as a team and not as individuals.
