BRAZIL VICTORIOUS OVER ARGENTINA IN CUP FINAL OF KL WORLD 5s
KUALA LUMPUR (3rd Feb 2008) Brazil won the KL World 5's beating
Argentina for the title which eluded them the last time to take home
the winner's cheque of US$50,000.

Juan Martin Gramuglia or Falcao in action.
In a final watched by a packed Negara Stadium crowd, the Brazilians
turned on the magic to thrill nearly 10,000 spectators with a
performance that would have won admiration of futsal fans the world
over.

The tie was a match worthy of a World Cup futsal final between two
South American powerhouses. Argentina came thinking they could contain
and deny the Brazilians, but in the end were hit for four unanswered
goals to claim the Cup which they lost to Argentina in the 2003 final.
This time, it is on its way back to Rio De Janeiro.

But for long periods in the opening half, Argentina held firm and the
Brazilians, who had two of their best players back on the roster today
despite niggling injuries, kept chipping away with Alessandro Viera,
or better known as Falcao, and Ari Santos back in the fold.

Their perseverance paid off at the very last minute of the half, when
the combination of Mauro Taffarel and Joao Carvalho tore down the
Argentinian defence for the latter to hit home from close range.

move that the Argentinians had no answer to.

Goal No. 3 came two minutes later through Falcao and William Morais
sealed Argentina's fate with the last goal of the match.

Said Brazil's assistant coach Marcos Sorato: "We are happy to win
because the last time in the final we lost to Argentina. Today we
defended very well, never gave Argentina much room and when we had the
break we took them well.

"Argentina is a good side. That's why we played our best players
tonight, like Falcao and Ari who are still not 100 per cent because
today of their injuries because we wanted to beat Argentina."
The Brazilian celebrates

Argentina's coach Jose Fernando said: "It's alright. We lost to a
better team. But it was a good match, especially in the first half.

"But we got very tired in the second period and it led to the three
goals we conceded. But Brazil is Brazil. They are so good because they
train five hours a day and they are all professional players.

"For us, some of my players have other jobs and that's the difference."

Said Harvey Davis, ESPN STAR Sports' Senior Director, Event Management
Group: "The last six days of competition gave Malaysian fans a huge
treat, and we couldn't have had a better final than these great futsal
nations. We wanted to create an event that would grow the sport of
futsal and promote the sporting culture in Malaysia. I believe we
contributed to that with the number of spectators that came to this
fabulous event.

Brazilian fans in the stand

"It was a huge success with passionate fans coming every day to cheer
for all the teams. We're very heartened by the support Malaysians have
shown and we look forward to holding this tournament again in the
future."
