Up to 4000 people have packed the stands of the Beach Stadium in Bibione (Italy), where an exhibition match between Italy and Brazil was held. And the show let nobody down. These two beach soccer monsters have offered a huge spectacle that together with the atmosphere brought by players and supporters has turned this afternoon into an unforgettable moment.
Indeed, you can never name an Italia-Brazil a friendly match. You cannot say so because none of the contenders, with such a history behind them, has the lesser intention to put things not even a bit easy for their opponent. It is difficult to find another match in which such recognizable Beach Soccer traditions clash on the sand. The fans know it, the referees know it, and, obviously, the players feel it at their inside, fielding these feelings with all heart.
The Brazilians have finally managed to beat Italy, who displayed their entire breed to make things really difficult for the Canarinha. The Transalpine got even ahead in the score, but Andre and Dino turn the score upside down. Pasquale immediately leveled things, but the last stage had a clear yellow colour, and Andre again and other of the Brazilian’s finest, Bruno, with two goals, got for the Brazilian a comfortable 2-5 that Palmacci could only shorten.
This amazing showdown was the best of appetizers for this FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier 3rd/4th place fixture facing Switzerland and Russia and the Final that will give Ukraine or Portugal the Cup.
