Group C Millenium Stadium, Cardiff Brazil 3-2 Egypt Rafael 16' Abou-Treika 52' Leandro 26' Salah 76' Neymar 30' Yellow cards: Egypt (Alaa, Ramadan, Gomaa) Brazil (Hulk) First-half assault Manchester United full-back Rafael broke the deadlock after 16 minutes following an exchange of passes with Oscar. Ten minutes later it was two, with Leandro Damiao firing home following some clumsy defending by Egypt and an unsure piece of goalkeeping from Ahmed Al-Shennawi. The Selecao continued their assault as Neymar headed home the third from close range after a sublime one-two with Hulk. Comeback? Egypt got the all-important early goal through Abou-Treika, who fortunately found the ball down his feet to follow in Emad Meteb's effort that initially hit the post. Substitute Salah was guilty of missing a sitter when he pounced on an error by Marcelo to go one-on-one with the keeper, but he was too sluggish to allow the Brazil defense to recover and clear. On the hour mark, Ahmed Fathi almost grabbed Egypt's second, only to see his powerful effort go agonizingly wide.
