Both teams played very well despite the rain which made the field difficult to play. The surface became heavy for both teams and they looked slowed down in the second half and wasn’t a great footballing sight for the remainder of the game.
Nonetheless, Brazil redeemed themselves and their country who failed to win this tournament during the last two times of the same competitions and their country losing in Germany recently.
