01:04here's aldair one of two players on the brazilian side with a yellow card against his name
01:17a bit of time for rivaldo and there's a lovely opening goal
01:23for leonardo no the flag is up on the far side

01:40when their joy does not last more than a split second
01:53and it's right
01:54of time
02:04early ball for rivaldo and here's a little now
02:07Hello! Oh, goodness me!
02:19The Brazilian celebrating,
02:21and the most famous footballer around
02:24scores his first goal in the World Cup Finals.
02:27Absolutely in the court.
02:29It's a great ball, it just judges the bounce,
02:32and the guy just don't miss.
02:34Look at the power, direction,
02:36you can't give a player that ability.
02:39There you are,
02:39steadies himself into the corner,
02:41you can't give a player that time.
02:56Face on the right side,
02:57and what a ball!
02:59Hit by Junior Bajano,
03:00three in the middle for the cross.
03:02Here's Rivaldo,
03:04Roberto Carlos going outside,
03:06shift the other way.
03:09But an indication of the width that Brazil get,
03:12and the quality of passing from the back.
03:15But here's Haji,
03:17encouraged to have a go.
03:21Right support, two left, one right.
03:37And the referee coming over,
03:40and Ronaldo is the player down.
03:42The challenge was, at best, untidy by Hada.
03:47It wasn't by Hada, it was by Schubach.
03:56It's a good score by Ronaldo.
03:58You can see there, it's very high.
04:00He's doing well not to get a yellow card.
04:02There's certainly a bruise there.
04:09Good challenges by Tahat.
04:11The ball delivered,
04:12and they didn't know where it was,
04:14the Moroccans.
04:15Ronaldo did, and very nearly made it.
04:18Roberto Carlos has been complaining about the ball,
04:21saying it doesn't move enough for him.
04:22That's certainly moved,
04:23and it moved away from Ronaldo,
04:25who was inches away from making it 2-0.
04:39Roberto Carlos does like to take his time
04:41to make sure he's got his angles right.
04:44Brilliant play.
04:46Capu, Bebeto in the middle.
04:49Free kick.
04:58Yes, Capu, the ball's come down with snow on it,
05:01and he's still kept it up.
05:02Look at that for skill.
05:03That is what we expect from the Brazilians.
05:06He gets on the edge of the box,
05:07and he wins himself a free kick.
05:09Great bit of skill.
05:12Lots of movement,
05:13and here's Roberto Carlos!
05:21Corner.
05:26Here comes Roberto Carlos,
05:27gets closed down,
05:28and I think that was heading for the net.
05:30Good block.
05:32Thomas Cole,
05:33can't be taken by Ben Zekri.
05:48And then,
05:48by Shippo,
05:49and here's Basia,
05:50and here's Shippo!
05:52Oh!
05:55Free kick is getting...
05:57Haji was waiting for the ball on the right,
06:00and would have been clear had he been given it.
06:09He didn't touch it,
06:10he was just running across his path and his swinging leg.
06:12Unfortunately, he's caught.
06:13Aladdin went down,
06:14and ended up saying he's going to get booked.
06:17Dunga,
06:18with several words to say.
06:20Leonardo trying to calm things down, I believe.
06:25That is very much his style.
06:29The free kick has been given.
06:31But what amounted to a missed kick.
06:37And it is Shiba!
06:39Oh, that's his job.
06:45Taperel had to come a long way.
06:48It was a rather torturous run that he made, too.
06:51Instead of coming straight,
06:53he seemed to deviate off a straight line.
06:56After all that,
06:57it's a corner.
07:01Basia comes away from the six-yard area.
07:06Header.
07:08Here's by Shiba.
07:14Free kick.
07:15I think he should elect the goal power on the edge of the D.
07:23Header.
07:24Return ball.
07:24He goes up in chase.
07:27Saber.
07:28Tights not to dive in against Ronaldo.
07:33Cesar Sampaio.
07:36Caput.
07:37Late on the scene for him.
07:40Bebeto.
07:40Very little of the ball.
07:42Gets it back from Leonardo.
07:44This is better.
07:45Free waiting.
07:46Oh.
07:47And it's such a simple goal by Rivaldo.
07:52He just walked it along.
07:57And after a poor spell of play.
08:00The Brazilian supporters now enjoy the moment.
08:06Goals at really either end of the half.
08:08Quality at either end of the half.
08:10A lot in the middle, Messi.
08:12But this was ridiculously easy.
08:14And again,
08:15the goalkeeper might have stopped it.
08:22At least Mario Zagallo can give his team a bit of stick from a position of leading by two goals
08:30to nothing.
08:32Morocco bemused.
08:34Ronaldo with the first goal in the ninth minute and then just before half-time, Rivaldo made it 2-0
08:42to Brazil.
08:46Teddy Sheringham, one of the England players watching the match.
08:51No change in the Brazilian line-up.
08:54It's part of one or two of the debates that went on.
08:57In the dull period of the first half.
09:03But they will have to make a change for their third game in the group.
09:08Because Cesar Sampaio, who was very unlucky to be booked, has now been booked twice.
09:12And therefore will be suspended for the third match against Norway.
09:18Shiba.
09:20Shippo.
09:22Didn't make the corner flag.
09:29I don't know how his mood was in the dressing room as they got it.
09:35There's definitely something going on.
09:37I've just seen Leonardo saying to Bevetto,
09:39come on, really pinching his fist as if to say, you know, you'll be alright.
09:42And there's definitely something going on between Bevetto and Dunga and maybe a couple of other players.
09:53There's Dunga.
09:55Leonardo on the right side.
09:59This is not unanimity in the Brazilian camp about the choice of the veteran Bevetto.
10:06The absence of Romario, who didn't recover in time to take part in the championship.
10:12There's Henri Michel, coach of Morocco here, be disappointed too.
10:16Particularly as his team is playing on the ground that he graced as a player.
10:20Spent his senior career with Nantes.
10:23Bevetto!
10:27I think his reaction said everything.
10:32And the goalkeeper held on well.
10:35Wasn't perhaps the power in the head of the Bevetto would have wished though.
10:39a good point.
10:40And now, Haku, forward, on the right side, as ever.
10:44It's Roberto Carlos on the left.
10:46Three in the middle for Brazil.
11:00PNke.
11:02same three waiting and Leonardo on the edge of the 18-yard line and the ball
11:08curled out of play for coming back in
11:13he would have lifted his morale the better if he'd have managed to make
11:16that opportunity count
11:30for now they're presented with the ball the better in the middle of a now though
11:35lovely step over the moment that oh
11:46and now they're all smiling with the veteran player
11:51and it was the young man who made it just look at this
12:00and that's what we expect from Ronaldo very unselfish
12:04and that'll do Bebeto's confidence no harm but the step over and the change of
12:08pace was absolutely brilliant
12:14Bebeto looks up to the sky
12:18thanks the god he worships
12:22and then thanks the god on the football field
12:26deservedly so as well
12:27and Dunga did congratulations
12:34there's a chance now that Morocco are going to get a real hiding here
12:39Brazil are keen enough to do so
12:42their place in the last 16 is already assured
12:56the England party watching
