In the first leg, Paulinho and Neymar scored as Brazil came from a goal down to beat Argentina 2-1. The Argentines returned the favour in the second leg with Ignacio Scocco finding the back of the net twice, while striker Fred scored the lone Brazil goal in a 2-1 defeat for the five-time champions. To this effect, the two teams played out a 3-3 draw over two legs before Brazil won 4-3 on penalties. Diego Cavalieri was the Brazil goalkeeper for the starting XI as far as the second leg is concerned. He was in goal for the dreaded penalty shootout.
