Kaka scores on return for Brazil
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 10 - 2012

MALMO, Sweden — Kaka scored on his Brazil comeback after a two-year absence and Oscar notched a brace as the 2014 World Cup hosts demolished Iraq 6-0 in a one-sided friendly in Sweden Thursday.
Chelsea midfielder Oscar set the South Americans on their way to an easy win in Malmo with two goals in a five-minute spell midway through the first half against opponents who are coached by former Brazil captain Zico.
Real Madrid's Kaka, who last played for his country at the 2010 World Cup, added the third early in the second half before Hulk, Neymar and Lucas shared three more goals as Brazil's incisive passing sliced through the Iraq defense.
Iraq goalkeeper Noor Sabri prevented Brazil from inflicting further embarrassment with an inspired performance.
Iraq, unable to play at home for security reasons, faces Australia in a World Cup qualifier in neutral Doha Tuesday and Zico was unhappy at the timing and venue of the Brazil match.
Brazil broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute when Neymar carried the ball forward and set up Oscar, who slotted it past the oncoming Sabri.
Five minutes later, Kaka pulled the ball back from the byline and Oscar turned it in from close range for the second.
Sabri then denied David Luiz, Neymar and Kaka in quick succession and Paulinho headed against the underside of the crossbar, leaving Iraq grateful to be only two goals behind at halftime.
Three minutes after the break, Kaka burst down the left, slipped past a defender and fired the ball into the roof of the net from a narrow angle.
Sabri made two more saves before Hulk scored the fourth in the 55th minute, cutting inside his marker and firing a low shot into the bottom far corner.
Neymar scored the fifth with a curling shot in the 75th minute and then played a one-two with Lucas who completed the rout. — Reuters
