Brazil forward Alexandre Pato said that conceding three goals to Egypt in the Confederations Cup was down to the Pharaohs lethal front line rather than his side's weak defense. The five-time World Champions opened their account in the confederations Cup with a 4-3 victory over Egypt to take charge of Group B on Monday. But the game left a bitter taste in coach Carlos Donga's mouth as it was the first time his Brazil side concede three goals in one game since he took over in 2006. "People say we have defensive problems. However, I believe our defenders had a very good match," Pato told reporters. "Egypt were very good in attack, especially their striker Zidan, who created many problems for us." Borussia Dortmund striker Mohamed Zidan gave Brazil a run for their money as he scored twice, leveling the score line on both occasions. But a double from Kaka and two other goals from Luis Fabiano and Juan gave Brazil a hard-fought victory.
