Brazilian national team get sweet revenge from Mexico on neutral ground

After defeating the US National Team 4-2 in a friendly match on Chicago's Soilder Field on Sunday September 9, Brazil traveled to Foxoboro, Massachsuetts to face off against rival Mexico on neutral ground on Wednesday September 12. The last time these two sides faced each other was in this past summer's Copa America in Venezuela in which Mexico defeated the number one world ranked soccer powerhouse 2-0. This was an embarrassing result for Brazil and their preparendess for this month's friendly showed their need for revenge. In the Copa America, Brazil was without several of their star players, but this time they had internationally known player Ronaldhino on their squad as well as Kaka, who is arguably one of the best young players in the world right now. Both players contributed goals in Brazil's 3-1 victory over Mexico. Brazil's next match is a 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Colombia in Bogota and Brazil's short trip to the United States to play these friendly matches was considered a warm-up for the more serious matches that come before them in the quickly approaching South American World Cup qualifying matches.
