Brazil then took over, creating several chances including one midway through the half where Ronaldinho intercepted the ball at midfield and initiated a counter-attack with Robinho, who shot high.

Ronaldinho showed flashes of his famous flair, floating a lob pass into the box to Vagner Love, who chipped it back across the middle to Kaka with one touch.

The AC Milan striker launched a volley from just outside the box, but the shot was off target.

Ghana played the last 11 minutes a man down after Haminu Draman was ejected with a second yellow card for pulling down Daniel Alves outside the box.
