Beautiful Brazil

AFP, Sao Paulo
Reigning champions Brazil turned on the style to beat outclassed Bolivia 3-1 here to stay firmly on course for the 2006 World Cup finals. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Adriano all found the net in the first half with only some inspired goalkeeping from Leonardo Fernandez preventing Brazil from racking up a hatful of goals.
The three points also put Brazil back on top of the South American qualifying table with 16 points from eight matches while Argentina, who had gone top on Saturday after beating Peru 3-1, are second, just a point behind.
Despite missing the collective talents of Cafu, Kaka, Dida, Lucio and Ze Roberto, who were all dropped for missing last month's friendly in Haiti, Brazil made sure the match was as good as over by the 13th minute as they raced into a 2-0 lead.
Ronaldo gave Carlos Alberto Parreira's side the perfect start when he opened the scoring after just a minute on the clock.
Arsenal midfielder Edu met a corner from the right with a powerful downward header which fell to the unmarked Ronaldo and the Real Madrid star scored easily from six yards to register his seventh goal of the qualifying campaign.
It was 2-0 after 13 minutes when Roque Junior, picking up a Roberto Carlos free-kick, was chopped down in the penalty area and Ronaldinho coolly slotted the penalty into the corner of Leonardo Fernandez's goal.
Ronaldinho almost made it 30 after 29 minutes when he played a neat one-two with Juninho before hitting a sweet, right-footed chip which Fernandez tipped smartly over the bar.
One minute before half-time, and with the capacity crowd greeting every Brazilian pass, the third goal arrived.
Ronaldinho played a wonderfully-flighted ball into the area where Inter Milan's Adriano nipped in between two defenders as well as Fernandez to head into an empty net.
Bolivia, who had struggled throughout the first half to make any impression, surprisingly found themselves back in the match three minutes after the break when Edmilson diverted Luis Cristaldo's shot into his own net.
Despite that setback, Brazil continued to pour forward and Adriano was unlucky to see a shot saved by Fernandez while the Bolivia goalkeeper was again alert to stop Ronaldo at pointblank range in the 74th minute from a Roberto Carlos cross.
Two minutes later, Fernandez was again flinging himself across the goal to deny Alex, who had replaced Ronaldinho, from scoring with a curling free-kick.
Ronaldo then burst away from two defenders but instead of crossing to an unmarked Adriano, he opted to go for glory but lost control of the ball.
Two minutes from the final whistle, only some desperate defending from Bolivia managed to keep the Real Madrid striker out. Gilberto Silva did have the ball in the net in injury time, heading in from a corner, but the goal was ruled out for a foul by Roque Junior.
"It was a good result and an excellent performance," said Ronaldo.
"We have every reason to be happy. It was marvelous. We played excellent soccer and we're the leaders."
Ronaldo earlier had promised fans a gala in his first match ever for Brazil in Latin America's biggest city. And he took less than a minute to deliver.
"We trained all week expecting a defensive blockade, and that eliminated any blockade," Ronaldo said.
Ronaldo's early strike turned an expected war of attrition into an comfortable stroll, coach Parreira said after the game.
Parreira had anticipated a long, frustrating wait to break down a Bolivia team fielding four defenders and four defensive midfielders.
"I've no doubt that the goal in the first minute changed the face of the game," Parreira told reporters.
"If we'd taken a long time to score, the crowd could have become irritated and the game could have got complicated."
Brazil raced to a 3-0 lead by halftime but failed to add to the total in the second half and allowed their opponents to pull one goal back. But Parreira denied his team had let up.
"We missed nine good chances in the second half," he said. "We could have opened up a good goal difference."
