Italy 0-3 Brazil - Confederations Cup: Quarter Finals - 21 June 2009

A stunning spell of three goals in eight minutes from Brazil put paid to Italy's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup.

Luis Fabiano put Brazil in front in the 37th minute after finding the corner of the net from just inside the Italy box.

The Sevilla striker put Brazil further ahead when dinking over the onrushing Gianluigi Buffon from close range.

And Andrea Dossena's own-goal just before the break consigned them to defeat and saw the USA qualify instead.
