Samba beats as Brazil battle back

A LATE header from Lucio added to Luis Fabiano’s brace helped Brazil fight back from two goals down to win the Confederations Cup final against United States in Johannesburg last night.

After falling behind to efforts from Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan, the South Americans looked out of ideas when they left the field at half-time.

But Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano pulled one back immediately after the restart, before drawing his side level with 16 minutes still to play.
