2010 FIFA World Cup: Brazil v North Korea 2-1 In this fourteenth match video, we relive the game played between Brazil & North Korea. Maicon produced a moment of pure Brazilian magic to set the five-time champions on their way to victory in their opening game against North Korea in Johannesburg. The Brazilians, ranked number one in the Fifa rankings, were expected to cruise past the team in 105th place in their Group G encounter. But on a difficult evening they had to wait until the 55th minute to break the deadlock as the North Koreans proved more than capable opponents. It fell to right-back Maicon to settle Brazil’s nerves with a goal of typical beauty. Latching on to a pass down the right from Elano but at a seemingly impossible angle trapped against the byeline, he produced a swerving screamer that bent in with goalkeeper Ri Myong-guk standing a fraction too far off his post. The goal composed Dunga’s previously erratic side and they doubled the lead with 18 minutes left when Robinho slid a fabulous pass in for Elano to slot home from inside the area. But North Korea gave them a much harder game than they were expecting and Kim Jong-Hun’s side got a goal their endeavour deserved when Ji Yun-nam fired in superbly in the closing stages.
