Bravo

Match 7: The second game on Sunday saw the heavily favored Mexico take on an offensive minded Iranian squad. Mexico striker Omar Bravo was able to score his first of two goals in the 28th minute. Iran answered 8 minutes later as Yahya Golmohammadi netted the equalizer to the dismay of Mexican fans and coaches. By the 52nd minute Mexico had used all three of its subs as Jared Borgetti came off with a hamstring injury. After the exit of Borgetti both teams seemed to lose any sense of urgency to go to goal. Finally the slow play was broken when Bravo was able to find the back of the net after two sloppy clearances by Iran out of the back. Then just three minuets later Zinha added the third and final goal to seal a victory for Mexico........

Match 8: The final game of Sunday saw second game from Group D as Portugal took on their former African colony; Angola. Right off the bat it looked as though Portugal would run Angola off the field, as Luis Figo showed that he could still be one of the dominant players in the world even well into his thirties. Figo made a brilliant run, and unselfishly slide a beautiful pass to Pauletta who tapped the ball into an empty net and give Portugal an early 1-0 lead. Surprisingly enough though Angola was able to tighten up its back and not allow a goal for the rest of the match. There was a lot of back and forth play with Portugal showing that they were the stronger side, however the game would not see anymore goals and Portugal came out with the full three points, even though most believed they should have a had at least a goal or two more versus Angola. They will no doubt need to find net more in their next two fixtures against Iran and Mexico.
