AC Milan duo lift Brazil

Milan stars Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho were pivotal as Brazil’s Olympic team beat Vietnam 2-0 in a friendly.

The Selecao’s final warm-up match was a tepid affair and Brazil looked far from their best as they struggled to victory.

Pato opened the scoring after just five minutes when he was played through by new teammate Ronaldinho.

The young gun looked cool as he ran on to Dinho’s through ball and beat a defender to the ball to slot home.

Milan newcomer Ronaldinho continued to play impressive football and stayed on for the full 90 minutes, but the second goal came courtesy of a bullet from Thiago Neves.

Jo replaced Pato after 70 minutes and ‘The Duck’ went off to applause from Coach Carlos Dunga.
