Alexandre Pato gives Brazil 1-0 win over Sweden
Published 3/26/2008 at FOXSports.com News for FOX SOCCER
Alexandre Pato scored in the 72nd minute Wednesday to give Brazil a 1-0 win over Sweden in a friendly rematch of the 1958 World Cup final.
The match marked the 50th anniversary of the final played in Stockholm but failed to come close to the 5-2 scoreline of Brazil's original win as Pato needed a major blunder from substitute Sweden goalkeeper Rami Shaaban to break the deadlock.
