00:00Just one change in the Brazilian team from that which started against the Russians.
00:05Aldair, who came on as a substitute, played the last 22 minutes of that game in place of Ricardo Rocha, continues in his steady.
00:15Romario, who scored the opening goal for them with a stab shot.
00:33And he and Bebeto continue their partnership up front.
00:40Cameroon make no changes at all.
00:45After the rollercoaster of a match against Sweden.
00:51And they say that rumors of a possible boycott of this fixture were hugely exaggerated.
00:57They got rather bored at yesterday's press conference with answering questions about money.
01:03There was a press conference, incidentally, where their captain, Tato, this is Oman Beek.
01:09Captain Tato proved himself to be an excellent speaker.
01:14Huge anticipation between the styles of South America and of Africa.
01:23Heffrey waiting for his cue from Graham Kelly, chief executive of the Football Association, acting here in his FIFA role.
01:35And away we go on a warm afternoon, but they haven't had the temperatures here that others have had to contend with.
01:46San Francisco, I think it was Mark Twain who said that the coldest winter's day he ever experienced was a summer's day in San Francisco.
01:55Offside flag.
01:57And then it's Tato.
02:02And they're here.
02:10Early one on, could be useful.
02:12Three in the middle.
02:13and the referee indicates the dive
02:19gives the goal kick
02:20Xenio gets to his feet
02:23and I just have the slightest feeling
02:26that he and the official didn't quite see that in the same manner
02:29I think it was a reckless challenge myself
02:32I've seen him giving to Leonardo
02:33good ball early
02:34Xenio running at the defender
02:36and he just pulled out
02:38I think Xenio is looking at it
02:39four to his right
02:40one to his left
02:42big slip it to FouƩ
02:46which is why Bebeto is now coming back
02:49Tapparel
02:50has a two-man ball
02:53Fede goes for the shot
02:54quite a long way out
03:00and
03:01from the moment the ball was struck
03:04it was clear it was going to clear the crossbar
03:07even this very light ball
03:10Michel found a suitable French expression
03:13to sum up what he thought about all that
03:15he's a stupid book in to have collected
03:19it stands up
03:20it's one of those that Cameroons might well appeal
03:22again because he might have said
03:24well I was trying to get the play going
03:25and it was too sore
03:26and so he hopped off the field
03:27but the yellow card was definitely shown
03:29and so that could be
03:31a little bit of an awkward one
03:33particularly when he's a key defender
03:35if he picks up another card
03:36the coin of Ireland got one
03:40when he had a bang in the eye
03:41here's Romario with the first chance of the match
03:44and he scores
03:45his second goal of the championship
03:51a simple break
03:54the atmosphere changes
03:56the celebration is
03:58mirrored all around the ground
04:00as well as on the bench
04:01and on the field
04:0239 minutes gone
04:06and Brazil take the lead
04:08and one wonders
04:10how much of that is down
04:12to the fact that Cameroon
04:14had not reorganised their defence
04:16after the return
04:17of Cala
04:18took it well didn't he
04:22got away from three defenders
04:23he's so strong
04:24not going to be pulled back
04:25a little toe-ender
04:26past Bell
04:28Dunger it was
04:29outside of the right foot
04:30look he picks him out
04:31just got the wrong side of Mabu
04:34he can't get back
04:35we've got our goal
04:38that we were asking for
04:48the drums have found a tone
04:50well the Brazilian
04:54music of football
04:56follow
04:56Raiz clearance
05:13but only
05:13Dungu
05:14here's Mfede
05:15Tato Wright
05:18three up for Cameroon
05:20two behind them
05:21Mfede
05:24out comes Jorginho
05:27counter across to the man
05:32in possession is Bebeto
05:34untimely stumble by Dunga
05:39beg your pardon
05:43it was by Xenio
05:44not Dunga
05:44apart from the fact that
05:46it's a different number
05:48it's also a different color
05:49so comprehensive
05:51misidentification
05:52Fede
05:56Agbu no room for manoeuvre
06:03never across the face of your own goal
06:07and Romare said thanks very much
06:09and seemed to hit the shot well
06:10but unfortunately it was blocked
06:11and I don't think anyone
06:12could argue with the score line
06:14Brazil have definitely pushed forward more than most of the two sides
06:18and deserve the 1-0 lead
06:20and now it's up for the Cameroons I think
06:22as I say to sort themselves out at half time and look a bit more positive
06:25and half time and half time we have reached
06:29we have reached the one goal scored by Barcelona's Romario in the 39th minute giving Brazil the lead
06:41disappointing in the European cup final but having scored two already in the world cup finals
06:51Dunga trying to find Romario right at the beginning
07:09significantly the linesman's flag did not go up for offside
07:12got in behind but it was cleared
07:15this is Mfede
07:17Sonk
07:20scene completed by Leonardo who chases down the flank
07:34Kala sets it up for Bell
07:40no apparent problems for Kala
07:47other than losing possession there
07:49the ankle
07:50about which he made quite a lot of fuss
07:53doesn't seem to be troubling him now
07:55proved to have been a very costly knock
08:01one which he seemed to me to exaggerate
08:05one by Foy
08:08one by Foy
08:10Mb
08:12Mb
08:17waiting in the middle
08:31And Manbijik waiting in the middle.
08:46Here's Yung Song.
08:49Manbijik unable to get his place back yet, but he hasn't been fit.
08:54The Cameroon management has not been too quick to inform people as to exactly what's been going on.
09:06Romario has gone to take the corner.
09:12Brazil's third in the match.
09:15Yunga, Leonardo, Bebeto.
09:25Oh, that's lovely, Leonardo. Romario just inside, still Leonardo.
09:30Just couldn't angle the body quite as he wanted when he was challenged.
09:34But signs here that the Brazilians are going to turn it on a bit.
09:38If they get another one soon, then we could have at least a few moments of exhibition.
09:43This side was so long compared with that great side of 1970, 24 years ago.
09:50Oh!
09:54Disappointment.
10:04Why didn't make it? It was the man coming from the back who did.
10:07Oh!
10:08Cover by Dunga.
10:11And that is Rodemir.
10:13And it looks as though he's going to get his chance.
10:22Embe's cross, if such it can be called.
10:25Seeing well by Marcio Santos.
10:32Referee plays a good advantage.
10:36It's collected by Bebeto.
10:38But he can't play an advantage there.
10:40And it's a red card for that challenge against Young Song.
10:49The teenager is dismissed.
10:54And memories come back that there was another side to the character in 1990, as we saw in the opening game when two players went off.
11:08But Song taking Bebeto out was the referee's view.
11:12First challenge, he played an advantage.
11:17And second challenge, the ball had been played away.
11:20Song played the man and will play no more.
11:23Well, Bebeto just sucking him in there, isn't it?
11:26Look, come and make the challenge.
11:28He knew he was going to dive in.
11:30And Song did it two or three times in the first half.
11:34And it was a great test there for the youngster as he walks off.
11:38But that probably is Cameroon's chance going now.
11:43I can't see them with Brazilian sort of an extra man.
11:47I'm sure they will make it tell.
11:49Although, of course, one man who, I suppose from a fairytale point of view, could be the man who is going to probably come on now will be Roger Miller.
11:58And they lose one man.
12:00And they make one substitution.
12:05Roger Miller coming on in place of David Embe.
12:17Substitutions in this World Cup.
12:19You can change two outfield players.
12:22And the goalkeeper.
12:25Bell in trouble.
12:27Macio Santos makes it two.
12:36Hit cross.
12:38Comfortable header.
12:40Joseph Antoine Bell never looking like he was going to cut it out.
12:44And there wasn't much cover in front of it.
12:49Two in the first game for Brazil.
12:51Two in the second.
12:54Dunga side foot across.
12:57With pace by Bebeto.
12:59Tato arrived too late.
13:01Brazil lead to nothing.
13:03Well, the market have all got dragged to the near post.
13:06Tato suddenly sees the danger too late.
13:09And that's Marcio Santos scores a second.
13:11You have a feeling now.
13:13With a few of the old thrills and flamboyance might well come out for Brazil.
13:18And once song went off, man short.
13:21Despite the entrance of Roger Miller.
13:24Cameroons now, I think, have got a battle just to keep the score respectable.
13:28And that will be important for them.
13:32They got one point in their opening match against Sweden.
13:37They will hope to get three points against Russia.
13:42Tato.
13:43Cala.
13:44Tato.
13:45Cala.
13:46New forward.
13:47Hasn't touched the ball yet.
13:48Fede.
13:49Fede.
13:50Fede.
13:51Fede.
13:52Fede.
13:53Fede.
13:54Fede.
13:58Fede.
13:59Fede.
14:00Here forward. Hasn't touched the ball yet.
14:03Fede.
14:11LĆ©vi.
14:16Pulled right, but not Dunga.
14:19Collected by Rye's Rouginho going up pace to his right.
14:22Two the other way, Bebeto and Romario.
14:25Rye didn't make a decision.
14:30Omenbik, Mia, Marcio Sentos coming in from behind.
14:3942-year-old goes off in chase, but hasn't been able to get into it yet.
14:44The referee anyway has to show a yellow card and then a red on occasions.
14:48It is an accumulative problem for the player, about to depart.
14:54Here's Bebeto.
14:56Still Bebeto, Romario.
14:58Bebeto, unselfish.
15:01Romario, just a touch, inaccurate.
15:06Lost their discipline now, Cameroon.
15:08They're diving into balls, whereas before they were holding up play,
15:11Bebeto does exceptionally well their set-out.
15:13Romario should have got the third goal.
15:16Pushed himself up in the course goal-scoring stakes to be the top goal-scorer in this World Cup.
15:22But their look, quick look, square, just drags it wide in the near post.
15:26The ball.
15:27Leonardo behind on this side.
15:30They could get him in if they change the angle of the free kick.
15:33But I imagine they're more likely to go towards goal rather than away from it initially.
15:37It's in to Bebeto.
15:41Well played, Bell.
15:45That was a great free kick, wasn't it?
15:47I mean, everyone thinks he's just playing it to the side and going to have a shot.
15:52And it was a little dink over the wall.
15:55Look, play it to the side, have the shot.
15:56No, I won't.
15:57I'll chip it over the wall.
15:58They all went to sleep.
16:03Boo.
16:16Another look at the flick by Dunga.
16:20Cross.
16:24Marcio Santos getting the second.
16:26Good diving header.
16:35Good chances.
16:35A chance for another.
16:36Good save by Bell once more.
16:38Denying Romario.
16:40But the follow-up is the first goal of these championships for Bebeto of La CoruƱa.
16:46Look at the delight on Bebeto's face.
17:02Romario away from Cala.
17:06Goalkeeper did well.
17:09And Bebeto squeezes it home.
17:12And the music is all Samba.
17:19Do him a lot of good for Bebeto.
17:24I thought he had an excellent ten minutes since the second goal.
17:27He was one of those that joined in the little tricks, the backheels.
17:31And now to have actually got on the score sheet.
17:33Alongside his striking partner Romario does set up Brazil now, you feel for the rest of this tournament.
17:40They're going to take a good side to knock them out of their stride.
17:43The Cameroons have disintegrated, though, haven't they?
17:58Somewhat.
17:59While it was 1-0, they thought, well, perhaps they'd be a bit more positive at an attacker or push forward.
18:04They haven't, they got the song youngsters sent off, and then the third goal, and now it is a case of just clinging on.
18:13Wang takes the corner.
18:18Tato.
18:20Wang.
18:25Always rising from Omanbeek.
18:27And Brazil are going to bring Paulo Sergio into the action.
18:37And feel that Xenio has done his fair share.
18:43He's the man replaced.
18:46Delighted, not to say beautiful, Brazilians.
18:50Know their side.
18:53Have qualified for the second stage.
18:56Little touch.
18:58And Mia gets the shot.
19:01But it's not a real test for Taffarel.
19:10Good little first flick.
19:11Received the return pass.
19:13Just took a bit too much time.
19:15Didn't quite get the power.
19:16In Europe, and it's said that Valencia want him in Spain.
19:21Now 28.
19:25Immediately in the action.
19:27Useful.
19:28Good play by Bell.
19:31To Danai Romario.
19:36Very strong, isn't he, Romario, in those tight situations.
19:39His balance is superb.
19:41It just knocks it far enough past the goalkeeper, just to give him the shooting angle.
19:45Bell's done well today.
19:46I mean, 3-0 is not a reflection, as you say, on his performance, Barry.
19:49Tell her not the right thing.
19:50There you go.
19:52Go.
19:52here keeping an eye on yeah here he is
20:06yeah
20:10so we've got his passing
20:14tattoo
20:17Borel comes to play
20:22Jorginho
20:29I'm going to be very happy when the next seven minutes have elapsed pretty hard
20:35work for them and trying to cover against the side
20:41it's playing now with the total composure and style
20:49this fellow said yo it's it well Bellwell forward
20:57Mario
21:04Brazil starting uncertainly
21:10finish with a plop and a three goal victory
21:17assisted to some extent by their opponents
21:20but as Trevor Brookings just said no one will want to meet them in the last 16
21:28a hugely enjoyable performance in the end and Brazil qualify for the second stage
