4. FRIENDLIES: Portugal hands Dunga first loss with Brazil

Late goals from Simao Sabrosa and central Ricardo Carvalho gave Portugal a 2-0 win over Brazil in a friendly international at London’s Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. The goals were set up by well-struck balls by Ricardo Quaresma and Hugo Viana.

It was Dunga‘s first defeat in six internationals as Brazil coach since taking over from Carlos Alberto Parreira after last year’s World Cup. It leaves the Brazilians looking for their first win over their old rivals since 1989. The win was the second for Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari over his home country, which he led to the 2002 World Cup title.

In a match played in the London suburb of Brentford, Ghana crushed African rival Nigeria, 4-1, thanks to goals by Laryea Kingson, Sulley Muntari, Junior Agogo and Joe Tex Frimpong.

Two other friendlies were played in the London area on Tuesday: South Korea defeated Greece, 1-0, and Denmark beat Australia, 3-1.
