Brazil Win Copa America

Even without some top stars like Ronaldinho, Adriano and Kaka, Brazil trashed Copa America favourites Argentina 3-0 to win their eight continental title.

Came into the match as the underdogs, goals from Julio Baptista (5), an own goal by Argentina’s Roberto Ayala (40) and Daniel Alves (69) helped Brazil overcome their South America rivals.

Argentina shares the record of 14 Copa titles with Uruguay but has none since 1993.

It also sweet justification for coach Carlos Dunga who had been the target of vitriolic criticism for overseeing a workmanlike rather than traditionally wondrous side.
